Q. The electric potential in a region is given by $V(x, y, z)=a x^{2}+a y^{2}+a b z^{2}$, ' $a$ ' is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions and $b$, a positive constant such that $V$ is volts when $x , y , z$ are in $m$. Let $b =2$. The work done by the electric field when a point charge $+4 \,\mu C$ moves from the point $(0,0,0, 1 \,m$ ) to the origin is $50\, \mu J$. The radius of the circle of the equipotential curve corresponding to $V=6250$ volts and $z=\sqrt{2} \,m$ is $\alpha m$. Find $\alpha^{2}$.
