Questions  

If the electric potential at a distance of 10 cm from a point charge is -2 volt, intensity of electric field at that point is

a
20 V/m directed away from the charge
b
200 V/m directed towards the charge
c
20 V/m directed towards the charge
d
200 V/m directed away from the charge

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For a point charge, V=14π∈o.Qrand E=14π∈o.Qr2∴E→=Vr=20.1V/m=20 V/mSince the potential is negative, the charge must be negative and hence the field is directed towards the charge.
