it is proportional to r
it is proportional to r2
it increases as one moves away from the origin

उत्तर
it is proportional to r2
Given:
E \[\propto\] r and V = 0 at r =0
⇒ E = kr
Also, E = \[\frac{- dV}{dr}\]
\[\therefore V = - \int Edr\]
\[ \Rightarrow V = - \int krdr\]
\[ \Rightarrow V = - k\frac{r^2}{2} + C\]
Using the condition, V = 0 at r = 0, we get C =0.
Therefore,
\[V = - k\frac{r^2}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow V \propto r^2\]
