The electric potential decreases uniform...

The electric potential decreases uniformly from `100 V` to `50 V` as one moves along the x-axis from `x = 0` to `x = 5 m`. The electric field at `x = 2 m` must be equal to `10 V//m`. Is this statement true or false.

To determine whether the statement "The electric field at x = 2 m must be equal to 10 V/m" is true or false, we can analyze the given information step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between electric potential and electric field The electric field (E) is related to the electric potential (V) by the equation: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dx} \] This means that the electric field is the negative rate of change of electric potential with respect to position. ### Step 2: Calculate the change in electric potential ...
