Statement I : In the electric field `E=(4hati+4hatj)N//C`, electric potential at A(4m, 0) is more than the electric potential at B(0,4 m).
Statement II : Electric lines of forces always travel from higher potential to lower potential.

A

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since `E=(4i+4j)N//C`, the intensity is symmetric about the x and y axes.
`therefore` The change of potential also same along the two axes.
