Q1.
The electrostatic potential V(x, y) in free space in a region where the charge density is
zero is given by V ( x, y ) = 4e 2 x + f ( x ) 3 y 2 . Given that the x-component of the electric
field Ex, and V are zero at the origin, f(x) is
(a) 3x 2 4e 2 x + 8 x
(b) 3x 2 4e 2 x + 16 x
(c) 4e 2 x 8
(d) 3x 2 4e 2 x
Ans: (d)
V = 4e 2 x + f ( x ) 3 y 2 . Since = 0 2V = 0 16e 2 x + f ( x ) 6 = 0 .
Since E x = 0 at origin E = V E x = 8e 2 x + f ( x )
E x (0, 0) = [8 + f (0)] = 0 f (0 ) = 8 .
Since V (0, 0 ) = 0 4 + f (0 ) = 0 f (0 ) = 4
Solve equation 16e 2 x + f ( x ) 6 = 0 f ( x ) = 6 16e 2 x f (x ) = 6 x 8e 2 x + c1 , since

f (0 ) = 8 c1 = 0 .
Again Integrate f ( x ) = 6 x 8e 2 x f ( x ) = 3 x 2 4e 2 x + c 2
since f (0 ) = 4 c 2 = 0 . Thus f ( x ) = 3x 2 4e 2 x
