2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

The figure gives the electric potential $V$ as a function of distance through five regions on $x$-axis. Which of the following is true for the electric field $E$ in these regions

A

${E_1} > {E_2} > {E_3} > {E_4} > {E_5}$

B

${E_1} = {E_3} = {E_5}$ and ${E_2} < {E_4}$

C

${E_2} = {E_4} = {E_5}$ and ${E_1} < {E_3}$

D

${E_1} < {E_2} < {E_3} < {E_4} < {E_5}$

Solution

(b)Electric field in the region $1,\, 3$ and $5$ is zero i.e. ${E_1} = {E_3} = {E_5}$
Slope of the line $BC$ $<$ Slope of the line $DE$
i.e. $ E_2 < E_4$
