An electric field of 20 N/C exists along the negative x-axis in space. Calculate the potential difference V B – V A , where the points A and B are given by:.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
[ 0, E.d = 40 V]
Sol.

∴ 
∴ A and B at same potential
∴ V B – V A = 0

∴ Against the field potential rises
∴ V B – V A = E λ = 20 × 2 = 40 V
