Question

In the uniform electric field shown in figure, find :
(a) VA-VD
(b) VA-VC
(c) VB-VD
(d) VC-vD
E = 20 V/m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

B

20 V

∣V

A

−V

C

∣=E×1=20V

As

E

is directed from point A to B, point A is at a higher potential than point C.

planes perpendicular to an uniform electric field are equipotential planes. As B and C lie on the same plane perpendicular to

E

, they are at same potential.

As A and D lie on the same plane perpendicular to

E

, they are at same potential.
