Expert Solution
Step 1 Potential and electric field
  • When the potential is given by V=a+bx

         Substitute the values to get desired potential at any location.

  • Electric field is shown mathematically as,E=-dVdx

         This is obtained by differentiating the term of potential with respect to position
