Let `V_0` be the potential at the origin in an electric field `vecE = 4hati + 5hatj`. The potential at the point (x,y) is

A

`V_0 - 4x - 5y`

B

`V_0 + 4x + 5y`

C

`4x + 5y - V_0`

D

`-4x - 5y`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`V_((x,y))-V_(0)=-int_(0)^(x)E_(x)dx-int_(0)^(y)E_(y)dy`
or `V_((x,y))=V_(0)-4x-5y`
