Question

Figure shows three points A, B and C in a region of uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ . The line AB is perpendicular and BC is parallel to the field lines. Then which of the following holds good? (V A , V B and V C  represent the electric potential at points A, B and C respectively)

cdquestions Admin · Accepted Answer

In a uniform electric field, the electric potential decreases in the direction of the field. Since point B is at a lower potential than point A (due to the perpendicular direction of the line AB to the field lines), the potential at point B will be less than at point A. As point C lies along the field lines, the potential at C will be the lowest among the three. Therefore, the potential decreases as we move from A to B to C. The correct option is (B) : V A =V B > V C

Answer

V_A=V_B = V_C

Answer

V_A=V_B > V_C

Answer

V_A=V_B < V_C

Answer

V_A>V_B = V_C
