Questions  

Variation of electrostatic potential  along x-direction is shown in the graph. The correct statement about electric field is:-

a
x component at point B is maximum
b
x component at point A is towards positive x-axis
c
x component  at  point  C  is  along  negative x-axis
d
x component at point C is along positive x-axis

detailed solution

Correct option is D

We know , E=−dVdxAt point C , slope dVdx is negative∴E=-dVdx=PositiveIt means , x component of electric field at point C is along positive x-axis.
