In a certain region, electric field `E` exists along the x - axis which is uniform. Given `B = 2 sqrt(3) m` and `BC = 4 m`. Points A, B, and C are in `x y` plane.
.
Find the potential difference `V_A - V_B` between the points `A and B`.

A

3 E

B

4 E

C

E

D

2 E

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`V_A - V_B = V_A - V_D = E AD`
=`E AB cos 30^(@) = E 2 sqrt(3) sqrt(3)/(2) = 3 E`
