Question

A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the x-axis at x = +1 cm and C be the point on the y-axis at y = +1 cm. Then the potetntail at the point A, B and C satisfy

Options

A.VA < VB
B.VA > VB
C.VA < VC
D.VA > VC

Solution

         
Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines.
∴ VA = VC    and VA = VB
