A test charge q is moved without acceleration from A to C along the path from A to B and then from B to C in electric field E as shown in the figure.

At which point (of the two) is the electric potential more and why ?

As, `V_(C)-V_(A)=4E`, is positive.
`:.V_(C)gtV_(A)` Potential is greater at point C than at point A, as potential decreases along the direction of electric field.
