$A$ circle of radius $R$ is drawn in a uniform electric field as shown in the figure. If the potentials at points $A, B, C,$ and $D$ on the circumference of the circle are $V_A, V_B, V_C,$ and $V_D$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $V_A > V_C, V_B = V_D$
  • B
    $V_A < V_C, V_B = V_D$
  • C
    $V_A = V_C, V_B < V_D$
  • D
    Only $V_A = V_C$
