E and V, respectively, denote electric field intensity and electrostatic potential at a point. The correct relation between the two is

  1. A E = dV/dr
  2. B E = - dV/dr
  3. C V = dE/dr
  4. D V = - dE/dr
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) E = - dV/dr

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electric field intensity ( \(E\) ) at a point is the negative gradient of the electrostatic potential ( \(V\) ) with respect to distance ( \(r\) ). The negative sign signifies that the direction of the electric field is always toward the region of decreasing potential.…
