Hello people ~

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

Answer:

  • (d) all of these

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the electric is uniform in the z-direction.

Therefore,

  • For any x for a given z, the potential will be constant
  • For any y for a given z, the potential will be constant
  • On the x-y plane for a given z, the potential will be constant
  • All of them are correct, so the correct option is d

All of the above

As it's given that

  • A uniform electric field in the z direction

Means the plane it's perpendicular to it xy plane.

  • It's for any x and any y

Hence all are correct
