A field is described as uniform if it

  • A.has zero divergence and zero curl throughout the region
  • B.has the same magnitude and direction at every point
  • C.has the same magnitude everywhere, whatever its direction
  • D.arises from a single point charge of fixed magnitude

Answer: B

Both magnitude and direction must be constant, which is why the field between large parallel plates is the standard example. Such a field does have zero divergence and curl, but so do many non-uniform fields, so that is not a sufficient description.
