  1. minimum at R
  2. minimum at Q
  3. minimum at P
  4. Same at all three points

A
minimum at P
B
minimum at R
C
Same at all three points
D
minimum at Q
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We know that electric field is directed along decreasing potential.
VQ>VR>VP
electric potential is minimum at P
hence, option C is correct.
