Q.
Figure shows three points $A,B\ and\ C$ in a region of uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$. The line $AB$ is perpendicular and $BC$ is parallel to the field lines. Then which of the following holds good. Where $V_{A},V_{B}\ and\ V_{C}$ represent the electric potential at points $A,B\ and\ C$ respectively
A) $V_{A} = V_{B} = V_{C}$
B) $V_{A} = V_{B} > V_{C}$
C) $V_{A} = V_{B} < V_{C}$
D) $V_{A} > V_{B} = V_{C}$
Explanation
(b) In the direction of electric field potential decreases
