A , B and C are three points in a uniform electric field. The electric potential is

A

a) maximum at A

B

b) maximum at B

C

c) maximum at C

D

d) same at all the three points A, B and C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
The potential decreases in the direction of the field. Therefore `V_(B) gt V_(C) gt C_(A)`.
