SUMMARY
The relationship between electric field strength (E) and radius (r) is established through the equation E(r) = -dV/dr. Given the potential function v = -224.1r + 22.17, differentiating this with respect to r yields a constant electric field strength of E = 224.1 N/C. This indicates that the electric field is uniform and does not depend on the radius in this scenario, as the variable r drops out during differentiation.
