The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the potential difference \( V_1 - V_2 \) given the electric field \( \overset{\rightarrow}{E} = (Ax + B) \hat{i} \), where \( A = 20 \, \text{N/C/m} \) and \( B = 10 \, \text{N/C} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between electric field and potential:** The electric field \( E \) is related to the electric potential \( V \) by the equation: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dx} \] This implies that the change in potential \( dV \) can be expressed as: \[ dV = -E \, dx \] 2. **Substitute the expression for electric field:** Given \( E = Ax + B \), we can write: \[ dV = -(Ax + B) \, dx \] 3. **Integrate to find the potential difference:** We want to find the potential difference between \( x = 1 \) and \( x = -5 \): \[ V_1 - V_2 = -\int_{-5}^{1} (Ax + B) \, dx \] 4. **Set up the integral:** Substitute \( A = 20 \) and \( B = 10 \): \[ V_1 - V_2 = -\int_{-5}^{1} (20x + 10) \, dx \] 5. **Calculate the integral:** First, compute the integral: \[ \int (20x + 10) \, dx = 10x^2 + 10x \] Now evaluate this from \( -5 \) to \( 1 \): \[ V_1 - V_2 = -\left[ (10(1)^2 + 10(1)) - (10(-5)^2 + 10(-5)) \right] \] Simplifying this gives: \[ = -\left[ (10 + 10) - (10 \cdot 25 - 50) \right] \] \[ = -\left[ 20 - (250 - 50) \right] \] \[ = -\left[ 20 - 200 \right] \] \[ = -(-180) = 180 \] 6. **Final Result:** Thus, the potential difference \( V_1 - V_2 \) is: \[ V_1 - V_2 = 180 \, \text{V} \]
