Q. A uniform electric field pointing in positive $x$-direction exists in a region. Let $A$ be the origin, $B$ be the point on the $x$-axis at $x = + 1\ cm$ and $C$ be the point on the $y$-axis at $y = + 1\ cm.$ Then the potentials at the points $A,\ B$ and $C$ satisfy
A) $V_{A} < V_{B}$
B) $V_{A} > V_{B}$
C) $V_{A} < V_{C}$
D) $V_{A} > V_{C}$
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: $V_{A} > V_{B}$.
