Electric Potential & Equipotentials

An electric field

E⃗=(25i^+30j^) N C−1\vec{E} = \left(25\hat{i} + 30\hat{j}\right)\text{ N C}^{-1} exists in a region of space. If the potential at the origin is taken to be zero then the potential at x = 2 m, y = 2 m is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. V−VO=−E⃗⋅r⃗=−(25x+30y)V - V_O = -\vec{E}\cdot\vec{r} = -(25x + 30y) for a uniform field.
  2. At (2,2)(2, 2): V=−(50+60)=−110 VV = -(50 + 60) = -110\,\text{V}
  3. So the answer is (d) −110-110 V.
