At a given location in space,the potential is known to be greater when one moves in any direction.To be more specific,no matter which direction one goes,a small step in that direction results in an increase in the potential by the same amount.This means that the Electric field at this location is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the potential is increasing in all directions by the same amount, then there can be no net electric field at that location. This is because electric fields are created by differences in potential (i.e. voltage), and if there are no differences in potential in any direction, there can be no electric field. Therefore, the correct choice is B, zero.
