A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the x-axis at 
cm and C be the point on the y-axis at 
cm. Then the potentials at the points A, B and C satisfy
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines
