Electric Potential & Equipotentials

Assume that an electric field E⃗=30x2i^\vec{E} = 30x^{2}\hat{i} exists in space. Then the potential difference VA−VO,V_A - V_O, where VOV_O is the potential at the origin and VAV_A the potential at x=2 mx = 2\text{ m} is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. VA−VO=−∫0230x2 dx=−[10x3]02V_A - V_O = -\int_0^2 30x^2\,dx = -\left[10x^3\right]_0^2
  2. =−80 J/C= -80\,\text{J/C}
  3. So the answer is (c) −80-80 J/C.
