The potential $\phi(x, y)$ of an electrostatic field $\vec{E} = a(y \hat{i} + x \hat{j})$ is [where $a$ is a constant and $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ are unit vectors along $X$ and $Y$ axes].

If $V = -5x + 3y + \sqrt{15}z$,then find the magnitude of the electric field $E(x, y, z)$ in units.

In space,the electric potential varies as $V = 20|\vec{r}|$ volt,where $\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}$ is the position vector. Then,the electric field in $N C^{-1}$ at the point $(4 \ m, 3 \ m, -5 \ m)$ is:

The electric potential $V$ at any point $(x, y, z),$ all in metres in space is given by $V = 4x^2$ volt. The electric field at the point $(1, 0, 2)$ in volt/meter,is
