2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

Figure shows three points $A$, $B$ and $C$ in a region of uniform electric field $\overrightarrow E $. The line $AB$ is perpendicular and $BC$ is parallel to the field lines. Then which of the following holds good. Where ${V_A} > {V_B}$ and ${V_C}$ represent the electric potential at points $A$, $B$ and $C$ respectively

A

${V_A} = {V_B} = {V_C}$

B

${V_A} = {V_B} > {V_C}$

C

${V_A} = {V_B} < {V_C}$

D

${V_A} > {V_B} = {V_C}$

Solution

(b) In the direction of electric field potential decreases.
