Question

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 (A) VA < VB (B) VA > VB (C) VA < VC (D) VA > VC

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

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

$V_{A} < V_{B}$

$V_{A} > V_{B}$

$V_{A} < V_{C}$

$V_{A} > V_{C}$

Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines.
$∴ V_{A} = V_{C}$ and $V_{A} > V_{B}$

VA​<VB​

VA​>VB​

VA​<VC​

VA​>VC​

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

$V_{A} < V_{B}$

$V_{A} > V_{B}$

$V_{A} < V_{C}$

$V_{A} > V_{C}$

Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines.
$∴ V_{A} = V_{C}$ and $V_{A} > V_{B}$
