ehry Ford College/ Physics 232-12 Summer 2018 5) Suppose a region of space has a uniform electric field, directed towards the right, as shown in the figure. Which statement about the electric potential is true? A) The potential at all three locations (A, B, C) is the same because the field is uniform. B) The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is higher than the potential at point A. C) The potential at points 4 and B are equal, and the potential at point C is lower than the potential at point A. Tne poteatial at point is the highest, he potenta at point B is thcn highet, und te potential at point C is the lowest.

Explanation / Answer

(C)

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

Since points, A and B lie at the same equipotential line they have to be at the same potential. The direction of electric field is always in the direction of decreasing potential. So point C is at a lower potential than A.
