The variation of electric potential with distance from a fixed point is shown in figure. What is the value of electric field at \(x=2 \mathrm{~m}\) ?
  1. 0
  2. 3
  3. 2
  4. 6

Solution

According to given diagram, potential is constant in region \(A B\).
i.e., \(\quad V=\) constant \(\therefore\) Electric field at \(x=2 \mathrm{~m}\) (at point \(C\) ) \(E=\frac{-d V}{d x}=0 \quad[\because V=\text { constant }]\)
