The electric field
between two points is constant in both magnitude and direction. Consider a path of length
at an angle
with respect to field lines shown in the figure. The potential difference between points 1 and 2 is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Points 2 and 3 are equipotential points. Hence, potential difference between points 1 and 2 is the same as that between 1 and 3.
