Let $V$ and $E$ be the potential and electric field intensity at a point,respectively. Then:

  • A
    If $V = 0$,then $E$ must be zero.
  • B
    If $V \neq 0$,then $E$ cannot be zero.
  • C
    If $E \neq 0$,then $V$ cannot be zero.
  • D
    If $V = 0$,then $E$ may be zero.

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].

For a charged spherical ball,electrostatic potential inside the ball varies with $r$ as $V = 2ar^2 + b$. Here,$a$ and $b$ are constants and $r$ is the distance from the center. The volume charge density inside the ball is $-\lambda a \varepsilon$. The value of $\lambda$ is $...........$. $\varepsilon =$ permittivity of medium.

Distinguish between electric field and electrostatic potential.
