Questions  

The potential at a point x (measured in μm) due to some charges situated on the x-axis is given by V(x)=20/x24volt.
The electric field E at x = 4 μm is given by:
 

a
5/3 volt/μm and in the +ve x direction.
b
10/9 volt/μm and in the -ve x direction.
c
10/9 volt/μm and in the +ve x direction.
d
5/3 volt/μm and in the -ve x direction.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

E=−dVdx=−20ddx1x2−4=-−40xx2−42=+40×4(16−4)2=+109
