Question

An electric field is spread uniformly in Y-axis. Consider a point A as origin point. The co-ordinates of point Bare equal to (0, 2) m. The co-ordinates of point C are (2, 0) m. At points A, Band C, electric potentials are VA VB and VC respectively. From the following options, which is correct ? (A)  VA = VC < VB (B) VA = VB = VC (C)  VA = VB > VC (D)  VA = VC > VB

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

$V_{A} = V_{C} < V_{B}$

$V_{A} = V_{B} = V_{C}$

$V_{A} = V_{B} > V_{C}$

$V_{A} = V_{C} > V_{B}$

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

VA​=VC​<VB​

VA​=VB​=VC​

VA​=VB​>VC​

VA​=VC​>VB​

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

$V_{A} = V_{C} < V_{B}$

$V_{A} = V_{B} = V_{C}$

$V_{A} = V_{B} > V_{C}$

$V_{A} = V_{C} > V_{B}$

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