Answer to Question #138233 in Electric Circuits for Caren

Question

In a certain region of space, the electric field is zero. From this fact, what can you conclude about the electric potential in this region?

Answer 1

Solution

Relationship between electric field and potential is given by

$E=-\nabla V=-\frac{dV}{dx}$

This clearly shows that if E=0 then

Potential is costant in that region.

$E=constant$
