उत्तर
Given:
Electric field intensity,
\[\vec{E} = \hat{ i } \text{Ax} = 10\text{ x } \hat{i} \]
Potential,
\[dV = - \vec{E} . \vec{\text{dx}} = - 10\text{xdx}\]
On integrating, we get
\[V = 10 \times \frac{x^2}{2} = - \left[ 5 x^2 \right]_{10}^0 \]
\[V = 5 \times 100 = 500 \] V
So, at the origin, the potential is 500 V.
