Q. A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region let Abe the orgin B be the point on the x-axis at x = +1 cm and C be the point on the Y axis at y = +1cm. Then the potentials at the points A, B and C satisfy

IIT JEEIIT JEE 2001Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines.
$\therefore \, \, \, \, \, \, \, V_A=V_C$ and $V_A > V_B$
