A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the x-axis at `x=+1cm ` and C be the point on the y-axis at `y=+1`cm. then the potential at the points A,B and C satisfy
a. `V_AltV_B`, b. `V_AgtV_B` c. `V_AltV_C` d. `V_AgtV_C`

A

`V_(A) lt V_(B)`

B

`V_(A) gt V_(B)`

C

`V_(A) = V_(C)`

D

`V_(A) gt V_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines.
`therefore V_(A)=V_(C) and V_(A) gt V_(B)`
