Figure shows two equipotential lines in $x, y$ plane for an electric field. The scales are marked. The $x-$ component $E_x$ and $y$ -component $E_y$ of the electric field in the space between these equipotential lines are respectively :-

Determine the electric field strength vector if the potential of this field depends on $x, y$ coordinates as $V=10$ axy

The potential $V$ is varying with $x$ and $y$ as $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,\left( {{y^2} - 4x} \right)\,volt.$ The field at ($1\,m, 1\,m$ ) is

The potential (in volts ) of a charge distribution is given by

$V(z)\, = \,30 - 5{z^2}for\,\left| z \right| \le 1\,m$

$V(z)\, = \,35 - 10\,\left| z \right|for\,\left| z \right| \ge 1\,m$

$V(z)$  does not depend on $x$  and  $y.$  If this potential is generated by a constant charge per unit volume $\rho _0$ (in units of $\varepsilon _0$ ) which is spread over a certain region, then choose the correct statement
