Question

P, Q and R are three points in a uniform electric field. The electric potential is

• A. minimum at R
• B. minimum at Q
• C. minimum at P
• D. Same at all three points

Answer 1

The correct option is C minimum at P

We know that electric field is directed along decreasing potential.

$\therefore V_Q>V_R>V_P$

$\therefore$ electric potential is minimum at $P$

hence, option $C$ is correct.
