Points A, B, C, and D are located in a uniform electric field E pointing along the y direction as shown in the figure. The line segment AC is parallel
to the y axis and the segment CB is parallel to the x axis. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding the electric potential at the given
points?
I: V<VÀ
II: VC=VB
III: VD depends on the x and the y coordinates of point D.
IV: The energy required to move a charged particle from A to D depends on the path between the two points.
