Multiple Choice

FIGURE 23-12
-Fig. 23-12 shows the variations of the electric potential V (in arbitrary units) as a function of the position x (also in arbitrary units) . Which of the choices below correctly describes the orientation of the electric field along the x axis?

• A)E is positive from x = -2 to x = 2.
• B)E is positive from x = -2 to x = 0, and negative from 0 to x= 2.
• C)E is negative from x = -2 to x = 0, and positive from 0 to x= 2.
• D)E is negative from x = -2 to x = 2.
• E)More information is needed to answer the question.
