STANDARD Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy
Consider a uniform electric field in the z-direction. The potential is a constant
A
for any x for a given z
B
for any y for a given z
C
on the x-y plane for a given z
D
all of these
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
As the electric field in the z-direction is uniform, equipotential surfaces are in the x-y plane. Hence the potential for a given z is constant on the x-y plane, for any x in this plane and for any y in this plane. So all are correct.
