Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{E}=10x\hat{i}+5y\hat{j} \)
\( V_{at(10,20)}=500~V \)
\( \Delta V=-\int\vec{E}\cdot d\vec{r} \)
\( 500-V_{0}=-\int_{(0,0)}^{(10,20)}(10x\hat{i}+5y\hat{j})\cdot(dx\hat{i}+dy\hat{j}) \)
\( 500-V_{0}=-[5x^{2}+\frac{5y^{2}}{2}]_{(0,0)}^{(10,20)} \)
\( V_{0}-500=(500+5\times\frac{400}{2})-(0-0) \)
\( V_{0}-500=500+1000 \)
\( V_{0}=2000V \)
