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 potential at points A, B and C satisfy.

Options

• V_A < V_B

• V_A > V_B

• V_A < V_C

• V_A > V_C

Answer 1

V_A > V_B 

Explanation:

V_A > V_B [V_A = V_C]

In the direction of the electric field, the electric potential decreases.
