Problem 2.20 One of these is an impossible electrostatic field. Which one?
(a) Ek[xy x + 2yzý + 3xz2];
(b) E= k[y² + (2xy + z²) ŷ + 2yz 2].
Here k is a constant with the appropriate units. For the possible one, find the potential, using
the origin as your reference point. Check your answer by computing VV. [Hint: You must
select a specific path to integrate along. It doesn't matter what path you choose, since the
answer is path-independent, but you simply cannot integrate unless you have a particular path
in mind.]
