The electric field $\vec{E}$ between two points is constant in both magnitude and direction. Consider a path of length $d$ at an angle $\theta=60^{\circ}$ with respect to field lines shown in figure. The potential difference between points 1 and 2 is (a) $\frac{E}{d \cos 60^{\circ}}$ (b) $E d \cos 60^{\circ}$ (c) $\frac{E d}{\cos 60^{\circ}}$ (d) $\frac{E}{d} \cos 60^{\circ}$
An electric line of force in the $x y$-plane is given by equation $x^{2}+y^{2}=1 .$ A particle with unit positive charge, initially at rest at the point $x=0, y=0$ in the $x y$-plane (a) not move at all (b) will move along straight line (c) will move along the circular line of force (d) information is insufficient to draw any conclusion

Round 2
As you move along the x-axis, the electric potential is zero everywhere. From this information, you can conclude that the x-component of the electric field of the source is... Select one: a. pointing in the negative x direction. b. zero but there might be an electric field component perpendicular to the x-axis. c. pointing in the positive x direction. d. zero, since the electric field is zero in every direction.
