derive relationship between electric field intensity and potential gradient at a point in electric field
The electric field intensity at a point can be defined as the negative of the potential gradient at that point. i.e.
Electric field intensity = - Potential gradient E = – dV/dx.
;the negative sign - implies that measuring from the positive plate the potential drops with increasing distance.
In the uniform field the electric field intensity is the same anywhere in the field and therefore you should see that the potential decreases steadily with distance from one plate to the other.
