A region in an electric field is specified by the following potential `V(x)= (a)/(x)+b`, where V is in volt and x is in metre. Find out the units of a and b.

Given, `V(x) = (a)/(x) + b`
Units of both the terms in summation of given equation should be same. Hence, unit of b should be volt (V) and unit of `(a)/(x)` should be volt (V). Therefore, `(a)/(x)= V`. Here unit of x is metre, hence unit of a should be volt-metre.
