Question

The electric field in the region defined by the y-z plane and the negative x axis is given by Ea where a is a constant. (There is no field for positive values of x.) As -x increases in magnitude relative to -0 at the origin, the electric potential in the region defined above is 9) A) a decreasing function proportional to B) a decreasing function proportional to C) constant. D) an increasing function proportional to + E) an increasing function proportional to + .

Answer #1

according to the function V=Ed the potential varies according to V=integral (-E.dx)

on integration V= -a*X therefore the potential decreasing function proportional to -X.

the potential varies with distance so it is constant is not correct.

and the potential is not going to increase because field is constant so definitely option B is correct.
