Why electric potential in the field of a negative charge is lower at near points and higher at distant points?

Important Questions on Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance



Is it possible to create an electric field in which all the lines of force are parallel lines and whose density increases gradually in a direction perpendicular to the lines of force, as shown in Figure below?

Figure below shows lines of constant potential in a region in which electric field exists. The values of the potential are indicated. Out of the points and , which will be of greatest electric field strength? Give reason.

The equipotential surfaces of certain field are shown in figure below. It is given that . Draw the corresponding lines of force for this pattern. Also state the region in which the electric field intensity is highest.


A test charge is moved without acceleration from to along the path from to and then from to in electric field as shown in the figure below. Calculate the potential difference between and .
