Is the electric potential at point 1 in the figure greater than, less than, or e

Question

Is the electric potential at point 1 in the figure greater than, less than, or equal to the electric potential at point 3? Greater than Less than Equal to Choose the best explanation from among the following. The value of the electric potential in large where the electric field lines are close together, and small where they are widely spaced. Therefore, the electric potential is the same at points 1 and 3. The electric field limes points to the right indicating that the electric potential is greater at point 3 than at point 1. The electric potential decreases as we move in the direction of the electric field, as shown in the figure. Therefore the electric potential is greater at point 1 than at point 3.

Explanation / Answer

PART 1)

Electric Potential at point 1 is more than the electric potential at point 3

PART 2)

Electric potential decreases as we move in the direction of electric field so potential of point 1 is more than the potential of point 3
