A uniform electric field pointing in positive r-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the r-axis at r =+ 1 cm and C be the point on the y-axis at y = + 1 cm. Then the potentials at the points A, B and C satisfy:

• A

  ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}<{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}$

• B

  ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}>{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}$

• C

  ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}<{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{C}}$

• D

  ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}>{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{C}}$
