NEET2011PhysicsElectrostaticsActual
The electric potential V at any point (x, y, z) , all in metres in space is given by V=4 x^2 volt. The electric field at the point (1,0,2) in volt/metre is
Options
- A8 along positive X -axis
- B16 along negative X -axis
- C16 along positive X -axis
- D8 along negative X -axis
Correct answer
D. 8 along negative X -axis
Step-by-step solution
We know that E =- [ i V x + j V y + k V z ] So aligned & E =- i V x =- i x (4 x^2 ) &=-8 x i Vm ⁻¹ & E _ (1,0,2) =-8 i Vm ⁻¹ aligned
