Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance - Result Question 1

1. In a certain region of space with volume 0.2 $m^{3}$, the electric potential is found to be $5 V$ throughout. The magnitude of electric field in this region is :

[2020]

(a) $0.5 N / C$

(b) $1 N / C$

(c) $5 N / C$

(d) zero

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) Since, electric potential is constant throughout the volume, hence electric field,

$E=-\frac{d V}{d r}=0$.
