Solution

The electric field E is related to the potential V by the equation E = -dV/dx, where dV/dx is the derivative of the potential with respect to position.

Given V = 500x^2, we can differentiate this with respect to x to find the electric field.

dV/dx = 2500x = 1000x

Substituting x = 0.500 m into this equation gives:

E = -dV/dx = -1000*0.500 = -500 V/m

So, the electric field Ex at x = 0.500 m is -500 V/m.
