Question

What is the direction of electric field $E$ at point $P$ in the following diagram

Open in App

Solution

Electric field moves towards the lower potential and perpendicular to the equi-potential surface.
So, at point P, electric field moves towards left perpendicular to the $- 10 V$ surface.
