Solution

The correct option is D $V_{A} < V_{B}$
From the figure, it is clear that at $A$ field lines are close to each other than at $B$ . So, we can conclude that, $| E_{A} | > | E_{B} |$

As we know , potential decreases along the direction of electric field. So $V_{A} < V_{B}$

Hence, options (a) and (d) are the correct alternatives.

Why this question?

Note:
What are Uniform and Non-Uniform electric fields?

If an electric field has same magnitude and direction everywhere in a given region, then the electric field is Uniform and if either the magnitude or direction or both change then the electric field is a Non- Uniform electric field.
