At a point in space, the electric field points towards north. In the region surrounding this point, the rate of change of potential will be zero along
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
east-west
Option D (east-west) is correct because the electric field points towards the north, and the electric field is the negative gradient of the potential. Therefore, the potential is constant in the direction perpendicular to the electric field, which is the east-west direction.
