A uniform field of exists in space in the -direction. Taking the potential at the origin to be zero, at which points is the potential equal to ?
Options
- APoints on the plane
- BPoints on the plane
- CPoints on the plane
- DPoints on the plane
Correct answer
C. Points on the plane
Step-by-step solution
The relation between electric potential and electric field is given by .
Given , the potential difference between a point and the origin is:
We are given that the potential is . Substituting this value:
This equation represents a plane perpendicular to the -axis. Thus, the potential is at all points on the plane .
