Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ What is the electric potential in a region where the electric field is given by $$E_z=2az\;\rm V/m$$ where $a$ is constant? where the electric potential at $z=0$ m is zero. $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Solving the given formula $$-2az dz=dV$$ Taking the integral, $$V=-2a\int zdz$$ $$V_z=- a z^2+\rm constant$$ at $z=0$, $V_z=\rm constant$ which is given above. Thus, $$\boxed{V_z=- a z^2+10}$$
