Which of the following is true for the figure showing electric lines of force ? (E is electrical field, and V is potential).
.

A

`E_A gt E_B`

B

`E_B gt E_A`

C

`V_A gt V_B`

D

`V_B gt V_A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.,d.
From electric field line pattern, it is clear `|E_A|gt|E_B|` and electric potential decreases in the direction of field, hence `V_A lt V_B`.
