The potential at a point x (measured in µm) due to some charges situated on the x-axis is given by :
V (x) = 20/(x2 – 4) volt
The electric field E at x = 4µm is given by
  1. \(\frac{5}{3} \mathrm{~V} / \mu \mathrm{m}\) and in the –ve x direction
  2. \(\frac{5}{3} \mathrm{~V} / \mu \mathrm{m}\) and in the +ve x direction
  3. \(\frac{10}{9} \mathrm{~V} / \mu \mathrm{m}\) and the –ve x direction
  4. \(\frac{10}{9} \mathrm{~V} / \mu \mathrm{m}\) and in the +ve x direction

Answer

(D) 10 9 ~V / m and in the +ve x direction
