Question

A region of space contains a uniform electric field, directed toward the right, as shown in the figure. Which statement about this situation is correct? The potential at all three locations is the same. The potentials at point A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is higher than the potential at point A. The potential at point A and B are equal, and the potential at point c is lower than the potential at point A. The potential at point A is the highest, the potential at point B the second highest, and the potential at point C is the lowest.

Explanation / Answer

We know that Electric Field lines points from High Potential to Low Potential.

Following above concept, points A and B will be at higher potential as compared to point C.

Hence Correct option: The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is lower than the potential at point C.
