The potential V is varying with x and y as V=12(y2−4x) volt. The field at x=1m,y=1m, is :
Ex=−dVdx=−12[−4]=2
Ey=−dVdy=−12[2y]=−y=−1
∴→E=Ex^i+Ey^j=2^i−1^j
The potential energy for a force field ¯F is given by ∪(x,y) = cos(x+y). The force acting on a particle at position given by coordinates (0, π/4) is
