Ic w02d1 2

The graph shows a potential V that depends only on the z position, with V=5V when z=5mm, V=0V when z=0mm, and V=-5V when z=-5mm, indicating the presence of a linear potential. The electric field E is the negative gradient of the potential V, so E points from higher to lower potential and is uniform. There is a positive charge located at z=5mm creating this potential.
