Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

Electric field in a region is given by $\vec{E}=(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k})$ V/m. The potential difference between points (0, 0, 0) and (1, 2, 3) will be

Options:

2 V

5 V

4 V

6 V

Correct Answer:

4 V

Explanation:

P.d. across the points $=-\vec{E} . \Delta \vec{r}$

$V_2-V_1=-(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}) . (\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})=-2-6+12=4$ volts.

∴ (C)
