JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

Assume that an electric field \(\vec E = 30{x^2}\hat i\) exists in space. Then the potential difference \(V_A-V_O\) where \(V_O\) is the potential at the origin and \(V_A\) the potential at \(x = 2\ m\) is....\(V\)

  1. A \(-120\) 
  2. B \(-80\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(120\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-80\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential difference between any two points in an electric field is given by, \({\mathrm{d} \mathrm{V}=-\vec{E} \cdot \overrightarrow{d x}}\) \({\int_{V_{O}}^{V_{A}} d V=-\int_{0}^{2} 30 x^{2} d x}\) \({V_{A}-V_{O}=-\left[10 x^{3}\right]_{0}^{2}=-80\, \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{C}}\)
