A uniform electric field E0 exists in a ...

A uniform electric field `E_0` exists in a region at angle `45^(@)` with the x - axis. There are two point `A(a, 0) and B(0,b)` having potential `V_A and V_B`, respectively, then
.

A

`a lt b`

B

`a gt b`

C

can't say

D

`a = b`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.,b.,d.
Equipotential surfaces will be inclined at `135^(@)` to the x - axis. If `a gt b`, then while moving from B to A, we are going in the direction of field, i.,e., from high to low potential. Similarly, options `b,c and d` are correct.
