[ad_1]
Assume the electric field E in some region is
uniform: it is the same at all points. Specifically,
E has a magnitude of 5 V/m and points in the
+x direction. What can you then say about the
behavior of the electric potential a) in the x
direction and b) in the y direction? Explain your
answers.
Please help! thank you
Answer
The electric potential difference between the two points in the x direction is given by, The electric field is directed in the positive x direction. Hence, there is a change in the electric potential in the x direction. The electric potential in maximum in x-direction. The electric potential difference between the two points in the y direction is given by, Δν-15.dy The electric field is directed in the positive x direction. Hence, there is no electric field in the y direction. Therefore, there is no change in the electric potential in the y direction So, the electric potential is constant in the y direction.
