Question:medium

In a region, the electric potential varies as \(V = 10 - 50x\), where \(V\) is in volts and \(x\) is in meters. The electric field in the region is

Show Hint

Whenever the potential is given as a function of position, use \[ E=-\frac{dV}{dx}. \] A positive value of \(E\) means the field is along \(+x\), whereas a negative value means it is along \(-x\).
  • \(10\ \text{N/C}\) along \(+x\)
  • \(10\ \text{N/C}\) along \(-x\)
  • \(50\ \text{N/C}\) along \(+x\)
  • \(50\ \text{N/C}\) along \(-x\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C
