Electric lines of force are as shown in ...

Electric lines of force are as shown in the figure. Then potential at point `P`

A

is zero

B

is not zero

C

may be zero also

D

is not defined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Electric field lines are perpendicular to metal body or conductor. The given structure shown a conducting body. Electric lines of force do not enter a conductor. Potential of a conductor is consatnt but not necessarily zero.
