Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  1. The electric potential at a point (x, y, z) is given by V = –  x²y – xz³ + 4. The electric field E at that point is
    1. E = î 2xy + ĵ (x² + y²) + ∆k(3xy - y²)
    2. E = î z³ - ĵ xyz - ∆k z²
    3. E = î (2xy - z³) + ĵxy² + ∆k 3z² x
    4. E = î (2xy + z³) + ĵx² + ∆k 3xy⊃
Correct Option: D

​The electric field at a point is equal to negative of potential gradient at that point. ​ ​​​

E =
∂V
∂V
î +
∂V
ĵ +
∂V
̂k
∂r∂x∂y∂z

= [(2xy + z³ )î + ĵx² + ̂3xz²]
