Assume that an electric field \(\mathrm{E}=30 \mathrm{x}^2 \mathrm{i}\) exists in space. If ' \(\mathrm{V}_0\) ' is the potential at the origin and ' \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}\) is the potential at \(\mathrm{x}=2 \mathrm{~m}\), then the potential difference \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{V}_0\right)\) is

  1. A \(-80 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(-120 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(80 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(120 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-80 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & d V=\vec{E} \cdot d x \\ & \int_{V_0}^{V_A} d V=-\int_0^2 30 x^2 d x \\ & V_A-V_0=-\left[10 x^3\right]_0^2=-80 J\end{aligned}\)
