Question

What is the SI unit of potential gradient?

Answer 1

1. The rate of change of potential with respect to displacement is known as a potential gradient.
2. It can be stated numerically as:
   $$\begin{gathered} potentialgradiant=\frac{changeinpotential}{changeindisplacement} \\ k=\frac{dV}{dx} \end{gathered}$$.
3. From the mathematical relation, we can say that the SI unit of the potential gradient is
   $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{potential}\mathrm{gradiant}=\frac{\mathrm{volt}}{\mathrm{met}er} \\ \mathrm{potential}\mathrm{gradiant}=\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$
   So, the SI unit of potential gradient $\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{m}$
