Solution
The correct option is D Zero Given: →E=10^iV/m;
The electric field is uniform hence equipotential surfaces will be perpendicular to the direction of →E, i.e equipotential surfaces will be parallel and equally spaced YZ−planes.
⇒ Charge is taken from A(1,2) to B(1,4) thus its displacement is along y− direction hence both the points A&B lies on the equipotential surface. VA=VB
