2. Consider a potential, Vold, that describes an electric field, E. Is it possible to redefine...
We know from electrostatics that if we have a scalar electrostatic potential V, then there exists an electric field that satisfies: Of course, not all vector fields can be written as the gradient of a scalar function. (a) Show that the electric field given below is not the result of an electrostatic potential. E(x, y, z) = ( 3.0m,2 ) ( yi-TJ (b) Just because this electric field can't come from an electrostatic potential, it doesn't mean it can't exist...
4. We know from electrostatics that if we have a scalar electrostatic potential V, then there exists an electric field that satisfies: Of course, not all vector fields can be written as the gradient of a scalar function. (a) Show that the electric field given below is not the result of an electrostatic potential (b) Just because this electric field can't come from an electrostatic potential, it doesn't mean it can't exist - it just can't be created by static...
