Homework Statement



How does E depend on r?

Homework Equations



E(r) = -dV/dr

v = -224.1r + 22.17

The Attempt at a Solution



dv/ dr = -224.1
E= 224.1

I need an equation that relates E and r, but r drops out when I differentiate...

Was this potential just given to you?
 
Potential? The equation with volts and radius (v = -224.1r + 22.17) is from my experiment, and the other (E = -dV/dr) is from my book.
