C
Suppose a region of space has a uniform electric field, directed upwards, as shown in the figure. Which
statement about the electric potential is true?
The potential at point A is the highest, the potential at point Bis the second highest, and the potential at point C
is the lowest.
O
The potential at point C is the highest, the potential at point B is the second highest, and the potential at point
A is the lowest.
The potential at point A and potential at point B are equal, the potential at point C is the highest.
The potential at all three locations (A, B, C) is the same because the field is uniform..
