Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A): In the electric field

\mathbf{E}=(4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}

, electric potential at

A(4 \mathrm{~m}, 0)

is more than the electric potential at

B(0,4 \mathrm{~m})

.

Reason (R): Electric lines of forces always travel from higher potential to lower potential.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Option D (If Assertion is false but the Reason is true) is correct because the potential at A and B are equal, and electric field lines travel from higher to lower potential.
