There is a uniform electrostatic field in a region. The potential at various points on a small sphere centered at $P$,in the region,is found to vary between the limits $589.0\,V$ to $589.8\,V$. What is the potential at a point on the sphere whose radius vector makes an angle of $60^o$ with the direction of the field (in $,V$)?

  • A
    $589.5$
  • B
    $589.2$
  • C
    $589.4$
  • D
