Question

5. (6 points; Below es a graph of the potential vs. position along the k several different positions indicated by the letters A through H. i ais for is to the rghti, with methins is true over a renge, trom D to E). fodude AL correct positions for ange (for example from A to D the following Where does the electric field have the greatest b Where is the electric field equal to zero? C Where will the electric hield point to the feft ( x direction)? d. Where would an electron have the greatest potential eneray? C D

Explanation / Answer

E = - dV/dx

so field strength = - (slope of V vs x curve)

(A) where slope is maximum.

Ans: B

(B) where slope is zero.

Ans: C D F

(C) where slope is +ve .

E = - (slope) = - ve

Ans: E

(D) Greatest PE, PE = - q V

PE is greatest where V is minimum.

Ans: H
