The electric field in a region is given ...

The electric field in a region is given by `vecE = (A/x^3) hati.` Write a suitable SI unit for A. Write an expression for the potential in the region assuming the potential at infinity to be zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The SI unit of electric field is `NC^(-1) or V m^(-1)`
Thus, the unit of A is `N m^3 C(-1)` or `V m^(-2)`
`V(x,y,z)=- int_(oo)^(x,y,z) vceE Vecdr`
`=-int_(oo)^(x,y,z) (Adx)/(x^3) =(A)/(2x^2).`
