A uniform electric field poiting in poistive 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=+1cm`. Then the potentials at the points A, B and C satisfy:

A

`V_(A)ltV_(B)`

B

`V_(A)gtV_(B)`

C

`V_(A)ltV_(C)`

D

`V_(A)gtV_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Field lines are always directed from higher potential to lower potential
`V_(A)gtV_(B)`
