Problem

The electric field in a region is directed outward and is proportional to the distance *r* from the origin. Taking the electric potential at the origin to be zero, (a) it is uniform in the region (b) it is proportional to *r* (c) it is proportional to *r*2^2 (d) it increases as one goes away from the origin.
