Gravitational field in a region is given by

\vec{E}=\left ( 5N/kg \right )\hat{i}+\left ( 12N/kg \right )\hat{j}

(Potential at origin is O)→ given

and \ we \ know \ that \ \ E=\frac{d v}{d r} \Rightarrow (d v=E d r)

In vector form, the position vector are written as

\begin{aligned} & \vec{r_1}=12 i+o j\\ & \vec{r_2}=0 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &d V_{1}=E \cdot d r_{1}\\ &=(5 \hat{i}+12 \hat{j}) \cdot (12 \hat{i}+0 \hat{j})=12 \times 5\\ &\begin{array}{l} d V_{2}=E \cdot d r_{2} \\ =(5 \hat{i}+12 \hat{j}) \cdot(0 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j})=5 \times 12 \\ \\ \frac{d V_{1}}{d V_{2}}=1 \end{array} \end{aligned}
