Question

In a uniform electric field, the potential is 10V at the origin of coordinates, and 8V at each of the points (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1). The potential at the point (1, 1, 1) will be :

Options

A.0
B.4V
C.8V
D.10 V

Solution

Here potential decreases 2V as we moves unit distance. Hence for point (1, 1, 1) from (0, 0, 0).
The total potential decrease is 2 +2 +2 = 6V. Hence the potential at point will (10 - 6) = 4V.
