Answer:

400 V

Explanation:

Electric filed , E=800 V/m

[tex]V_1=2000 V[/tex]

[tex]x_1=0,x_2=2 m[/tex]

We know that

[tex]E=\frac{V_1-V_2}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]800=\frac{2000-V_2}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]800=\frac{2000-V_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]2000-V_2=800\times 2=1600[/tex]

[tex]V_2=2000-1600[/tex]

[tex]V_2=400 V[/tex]

Hence, the potential at x=2 m=400 V

The potential difference at point x = 2m on the x-axis is 400 V.

Potential Difference

The amount of energy transferred between two points in a circuit is measured by the potential difference between two points.

Given that the electric field along the x-axis is 800 V/m. Potential difference at x= 0 is 2000 V.

The electric field at two points along the x-axis can be given as,

[tex]E = \dfrac {v_1-v_2} {x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

Where E is the electric field, v1 is the potential difference at point x1 on the x-axis, and v2 is the potential difference at point x2 on the x-axis.

The potential difference v2 at point x2 = 2 m can be calculated by substituting the values in the above equation.

[tex]800 = \dfrac {2000 -v_2}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]v_2 = 2000 - (800\times 2)[/tex]

[tex]v_2 = 400 \;\rm V[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the potential difference at point x = 2m on the x-axis is 400 V.
