Assume than an electric field vec(E ) = ...

Assume than an electric field `vec(E ) = 30 x^(2)hat(i)` exists in space. Then the potential difference `V_(A) - V_(O)`, where `V_(O)` is the potential at the origin and `V_(A)` the potential at x = 2 m is

A

80 J

B

120 J

C

`-120 J`

D

`-80 J`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

We know, `vec(E ) = -(dV)/(dx) hat(i) or, int_(V_O)^(V_A) dV = -int_(0)^(2) 30 x^(2) dx`
`:. V_(A) - V_(O) = -30 [(x^3)/(3)]_(0)^(2) = -80 J` .
