Figure shown three points A, B and C in ...

Figure shown three points `A, B` and `C` in a region of unifrom electric field `vecE`. The line `AB` is perpendicular and `BC` is parallel to the field lines. Then which of the following holds good. Where `V_(A), V_(B)` and `V_(C)` represenet the electric potential at points `A, B` and `C` respectively

A

`V_(A) = V_(B) = V_(C)`

B

`V_(A) = V_(B) gt V_(C)`

C

`V_(A) = V_(B) lt V_(C)`

D

`V_(A) gt V_(B) = V_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Potential decreases in the direction of electric field and remains same in perpendicular direction.
