Questions  

Uniform electric field exists in a region and is given by E=E0i^+E0j^. There are four points A(-a, 0), B(0 , -a), C(a, 0), and D(0, a) in the xy plane. Which of the following is the correct relation for the electric potential? 

a
VA=VC>VB=VD
b
VA=VB>VC=VD
c
VA>VC>VB=VD
d
VA

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Since potential decreases along electric field as E=−dV/dx, VA>VC and VB>VD. Also due to symmetryVA=VB, VC=VDVA=VB>VC=VD
