Determine the electric field strength vector if the potential of this field depends on x, coordinates as
(a) `V = a (x^2 — y^2)` (b) `V = axy`
where, a is a constant.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_(x) =(delV)/(delx) = -2Ax and E_(y) = -(delV)/(dely)=2Ay`
`barE=E_(x) hati +E_(y) hatj = 2A (-x hati +yhatj)`
