Figure shows three points 
and 
in a region of uniform electric field 
. The line 
is perpendicular and 
which is parallel to the electric field. Then, which of the following holds good? 
and 
represent the electric potential at points 
and 
, respectively)
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The line 
is perpendicular to the electric field. This means that 
and 
lie on the same equipotential line.
The line 
is parallel to the electric field, and the electric potential decreases in the direction of the electric field
