Question:

What is the mathematical expression for potential gradient?

Options:

$\frac{dv}{rdr}$

$-\frac{dE}{dr}$

$-\frac{dV}{dr}$

$-\frac{dV}{dA}$

Correct Answer:

$-\frac{dV}{dr}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $-\frac{dV}{dr}$

The mathematical expression for potential gradient (K) is -

$K=\frac{v}{l}$

where, 

$v$ = Potential difference

$l$ = length of wire
