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: $-12 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
Intensity of the electric field, $E=\frac{d V}{d x}=6 x$
Potential $(\mathrm{v})=3 \mathrm{x}^{2}+5$
$\therefore$ E at $x=-2$
$$
=6(-2)=-12 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}
$$
