Solution

The correct option is D 20 N
$E_{x} = - \frac{d V}{d x} = - (6 - 8 y^{2}), E_{y} = - \frac{d V}{d y} = - (- 16 x y - 8 + 6 z), E_{z} = - \frac{d V}{d z} = - (6 y - 8 z)$
At origin $x = y = z = 0$ so, $E_{x} = - 6, E_{y} = 8$ and $E_{z} = 0$
$\Rightarrow E = \sqrt{E_{x}^{2} + E_{y}^{2}} = 10 N / C$
Hence force $F = Q E = 2 \times 10 = 20 N$
