Q. Figure shows three points $A, B$ and $C$ in a region of uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ . 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)Physics Question Image

Solution:

Electric lines of force in an electric field always flow from a higher potential to a lower potential.
Hence, $V _{ A }= V _{ B } > V _{ C }$
