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/(x24) Volts. The electric field E at x=4μm  is given by

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

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Vx=20x2−4 E=-dVdx=20(x2−4)2(2x−0)=160144=109
