Question

6) Suppose a region of space has a uniform electric field, directed towards the right, as shown in the figure. Which statement about the electric potential is true? high to lou A) The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is higher than y The potential at point A is the highest, the potential at point B is the second highest, ty The potential at all three locations (A, B, C) is the same because the field is O) The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is lower than the potential at point A. and the potential at point C is the lowest uniform the potential at point A.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

electric field points towards the decreasing potential

hence, as the electric field is pointing to the right

the electric potential is decreasing as move to right

NOw, as A and B are at same vertical line

A and B are at same potential

and C will be lower potential than A and B

hence ,the correct option is

D)
