Options:
  • A $+17 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • B $-17 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • C $+12 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • D $-12 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $-12 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
Potential $(V)=3 x^{2}+5$ Intensity of the electric field $=\frac{d V}{d x}=6 x$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad E \text { at } x &=-2 \\
&=6(-2)=-12 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}
\end{aligned}
