The figure gives the electric potential V as a function of distance through five regions on 
-axis. Which of the following is true for the electric field E in these regions
A
B
and 
C
and 
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Electric field in the region 1, 3 and 5 is zero i.e. E 1 = E 3 = E 5
Slope of the line BC < Slope of the line DE
i.e. E 2 < E 4
