Application +4 | -1

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

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

- (6\hat i + 5\hat j + 2\hat k)

Option D (

- (6\hat i + 5\hat j + 2\hat k)

) is correct because it is found by taking the negative gradient of the potential function and evaluating it at the given point.
