1)The electric potential V in a region of space is given by
V ( x, y)  A( x  3 y )

where A is a constant. Derive an expression for the
electric field at any point in this region.
2)The electric potential V in a region of space is given by
c
V (r ) 
3r 3
where c is a constant. The source of the field is at the
origin. Derive an expression for the electric field at any
point in this region.
Exercise 5 p. 52
An electron moves from one point to another where the
second point has a larger value of the electric potential by
5 volts. If the initial velocity was zero, how fast will the
electron be going at the second point?
Problem 3 p. 45
Electric potential V is a scalar!

Proof of Gauss’s Law
Electric field lines
These are fictitious lines we sketch which point in
the direction of the electric field.

1) The direction of E at any point is tangent to the
line of force at that point.
2) The density of lines of force in any region is
proportional to the magnitude of E in that region
Lines never cross.
Density is the number of lines going through an area (N)
divided by the size of the area
