The electric potential at any point $(x, y, z)$ (all in meters) in space is given by $V = 5x^2$ volt. The electric field at the point $(1, 2, 3) \text{ m}$ is $\overrightarrow{E} = $ . . . . . . $\text{N/C}$.

The potential (in volts) of a charge distribution is given by $V(z) = 30 - 5z^2$ for $|z| \le 1 \ m$ and $V(z) = 35 - 10|z|$ for $|z| \ge 1 \ m$. $V(z)$ does not depend on $x$ and $y$. If this potential is generated by a constant charge per unit volume $\rho_0$ (in units of $\varepsilon_0$) which is spread over a certain region,then choose the correct statement.

In a certain region of space,the variation of potential with distance from the origin as we move along the $x$-axis is given by $V = 8x^2 + 2$,where $x$ is the $x$-coordinate of a point in space. The magnitude of the electric field at a point $(-4, 0)$ is .......... $V/m$.

The electric potentials of two plates are $-10\, V$ and $+30\, V$ respectively. If the distance between the two plates is $2\, cm$,then the electric field between them is ... $V/m$.

The electric potential at a point $(x, y, z)$ is given by $V = -x^2y - xz^3 + 4$. The electric field at that point is:
