Let \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) be the three points in a uniform electric field \((\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})\) as shown. The electric potential is

- A maximum at point C
- B maximum at point A
- C maximum at point B
- D same at all points A,B and C
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) maximum at point B
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electric potential decreases in the direction of the field. Hence potential is maximum at \(\mathrm{B}\).
