$A$ uniform electric field exists in the plane of the paper as shown. Here $A, B, C$, and $D$ are points on the circle. $V_{A}, V_{B}, V_{C}$, and $V_{D}$ are the potentials at those points respectively. Then:

  • A
    $V_{A}=V_{C}, V_{B}=V_{D}$
  • B
    $V_{A}=V_{C}, V_{B} > V_{D}$
  • C
    $V_{A} > V_{C}, V_{B} > V_{D}$
  • D
    $V_{A}=V_{B}, V_{C} > V_{D}$
