What can you infer about the electric potential V if the electric field is uniform in a region? If V is uniform in a region of space, what can you infer about
?
Answer to Problem 11Q
Solution:
When V is uniform electric field is zero.
Explanation of Solution
We have the relation between electric field, and potential difference V with change in distance given by
When is uniform we have = Constant, Assume , which implies there is a 5V potential increase with 1 m.
When V is uniform we have = Zero, which implies when V is uniform electric field is zero.
