JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance NEET PYQ - Electrostatics and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    If potential (in volts) in a region is expressed as\[V(x,y,z)=6xy-y+2yz,\] the electric field (in N/C) at point \[(1,1,0)\]is           [NEET (Re) 2015]

    A) \[-(3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\]

    B) \[-(6\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+2\hat{k})\]

    C) \[-(2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k})\]

    D) \[-(6\hat{i}+9\hat{j}+\hat{k})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Given, potential in a region, \[V=6xy-y+2yz.\] Electric field in a region,
    \[E=-\frac{\partial V}{\partial x}\mathbf{\hat{i}}-\frac{\partial V}{\partial y}\mathbf{\hat{j}}-\frac{\partial V}{\partial z}\mathbf{\hat{k}}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[E=-6y\mathbf{\hat{i}}-(6x-1)\mathbf{\hat{j}}-2y\mathbf{\hat{k}}\]
    At, \[(1,\,1,\,0),\] electric field can be expressed,
    \[E=-(6\times 1\mathbf{\hat{i}})-(6\times 1-1)\mathbf{\hat{j}}-2\times 1.\mathbf{\hat{k}}\]
    \[=-(6\mathbf{\hat{i}}+5\mathbf{\hat{j}}+2\mathbf{\hat{k}})N/C\]
