Question

Determine whether the following statements are true/false.

a) Moving through space in a direction of increasing electric potential means that the electric field also increases.

b) Moving through space in a direction of increasing electric field means that the electric potential also increases.

c) It is possible to have zero electric field at a point where the potential is non-zero.

d) It is possible to have zero potential at a point where the electric field is non-zero.

e) If one is to move perpendicularly to the direction of the electric field, then the electric potential remains constant.

f) If one is to move along a line of constant electric potential, then the electric field must also remain constant.

Explanation / Answer

(a) potential and electric field are in the opposite direction so the electric field should decrease. False

(b) False

(c) Yes

(d) No

(e) Yes

(f) constant potential means field is zero
