Potential gradient is defined as

  • A
    Fall of potential per unit length of the wire
  • B
    Fall of potential per unit area of the wire
  • C
    Fall of potential between two ends of the wire
  • D

Let $V$ and $E$ be the potential and electric field intensity at a point,respectively. Then:

The figure shows the variation of electric field intensity $E$ versus distance $x$. What is the potential difference between the points at $x = 2 \, m$ and $x = 6 \, m$ from $O$ (in $V$)?

The electric field in a region is given by $\vec{E} = (Ax + B)\hat{i}$ where $E$ is in $N\,C^{-1}$ and $x$ is in meters. The values of constants are $A = 20\, SI\, \text{unit}$ and $B = 10\, SI\, \text{unit}$. If the potential at $x = 1$ is $V_1$ and that at $x = -5$ is $V_2$, then $V_1 - V_2$ is.....$V$.

$A$ uniform electric field of $20\, N/C$ exists along the $x$-axis in a space. The potential difference $(V_B - V_A)$ for the points $A(4\,m, 2\,m)$ and $B(6\,m, 5\,m)$ is.....$V$.

The electric potential at any point $(x, y, z)$ in metres is given by $V = 3x^2$. The electric field at a point $(2, 0, 1)$ is (in $Vm^{-1}$)
