The electric field at the origin is along the positive x-axis. A small circle is drawn with the centre at the origin cutting the axes at points \(\mathrm A\), \(\mathrm B\), \(\mathrm C\) and \(\mathrm D\) having coordinates \((a,0),(0,a),(-a,0),(0,-a)\) respectively. Out of the points on the periphery of the circle, the potential is minimum at:
1. \(\mathrm A\)
2. \(\mathrm B\)
3. \(\mathrm C\)
4. \(\mathrm D\)
