Figure shows two equipotential surfaces V 1 & V 2 . The component of electric field in x & y direction will be –
A
E x 
and E y 
and E y
B
– E x 
and E y 
and E y
C
E x 
and – E y 
and – E y
D
–E x 
and – E y 
and – E y
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Electric field lines are perpendicular to the equipotential surface and are directed from high potential to low potential.
Electric field will have one component in negative x direction and one component in + y direction.
