Question
Which of the following options is the correct expression for the relationship between electric field and electric potential?
Solution
The relationship between electric field (E) and electric potential (V) is given by the negative gradient of the potential. This can be mathematically expressed as:
E = -dV/dx
Where:
- E is the electric field
- V is the electric potential
- dV/dx is the derivative of the potential with respect to distance, which represents the rate of change of potential with distance. The negative sign indicates that the electric field is directed from regions of high potential to regions of low potential.
