What is the mathematical expression for potential gradient?

  1. A \( \frac{dV}{r \ dr} \)
  2. B \( -\frac{dE}{dr} \)
  3. C \( -\frac{dV}{dr} \)
  4. D \( -\frac{dV}{dA} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( -\frac{dV}{dr} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential gradient represents the rate of change of electric potential with respect to distance. The negative sign indicates that the electric field points in the direction where the potential decreases most rapidly. C) \(-\frac{d V}{d r}\)
