Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

Electric potential at any point x, y, z in the space is given according to the following relation:

V= 4x2- 3x 

What is the force experienced by a charge particle q at point (1, 1, 1)? 

Options:

-5q i 

11 q i

5q i - j 

11q i + j 

Correct Answer:

-5q i 

Explanation:

F = q * E

E = -\(\frac{dV}{dx}\) = -\(\frac{d}{dx}\) 4x2 - 3x = -(8x - 3) i

|E|(1,1,1) = - 5 i 

$\vec{F} = -5q\hat{i}$
