Question
Does the electric potential increase or decrease along the line of electric force?
✓
Answer
The direction of the line of electric force is the direction of the electric field. Therefore the electric potential decreases in this direction.

Answer the following:
The top of the atmosphere is at about 400kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100Vm–1. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!)
