SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating voltage changes in a uniform electric field of 50 N/C directed east. It is established that the voltage remains constant in the north-south direction, meaning the voltage at a point 1.0 m directly south of an initial point at 80V remains 80V. Conversely, moving 1.0 m directly east would involve a voltage change due to the electric field's directional influence, which can be expressed as 50 V/m.
