alleryThe electric field points in the direction in which the potential:
AStays constant
BOscillates
CFalls fastest
DRises fastest
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Falls fastest
1. Field and potential change are linked by a minus sign.
2. Along the field the potential drops.
3. It drops most steeply in that direction.
