Let $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ be the three points in a uniform electric field $(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})$ as shown. The electric potential is
  1. maximum at point C
  2. maximum at point A
  3. maximum at point B
  4. same at all points A,B and C

Solution

The electric potential decreases in the direction of the field. Hence potential is maximum at $\mathrm{B}$.
