Electrostatics Question 494
Question: 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 [CPMT 2004; MP PMT 2005]
Options:
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} $
Show Answer
Answer:
