Consider a uniform electric field in the `hat (z)` direction. The potential is a constant.

A

in all space

B

for any `x` for a given `z`

C

for any `y` for a given `z`

D

on the `x-y` plane for a given `z`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D

As electric field in the `hat(z)` direction is uniform, equipotentail surfaces are in `XY` plane. Hence the potential for given `z_(1)` is constant (i) on `x-y` plane (ii) for any `x` in this plane and (iii) for any `y` in this plane.
Hence Choics (b), (c), (d) are correct.
