Question

Can anyone explain me what the statement is trying to say actually!!the charge on particle is fixed then how it can be increased or decreased??​

Answer 1

Electric potential is the amount of potential energy per unit charge. If you pick a distance r from a point charge, q 1 , the potential will be;V R =k× rq 1 k is Coulomb's constant. When you place a second charge, q 2 , at r, the potential energy, W, will be;W=V(r)q 2 .So potential is the scaling factor for the potential energy. Therefore, it increases as you get closer to the charge source.
