Question

If electric field E = 0 in a region do you think potential at the region should also be zero?
Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The potential is constant throughout a given region of space. ... If the electric field is zero at a point, the electric potential must also be zero at that point.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, not necessarily does the potential be zero.

Explanation:

We know in electrodynamics that,

The electric field is the gradient of negative voltage.

E = - del (V)

If E = 0,

then V can be either zero or be a constant.

As we know the derivative of the constant is zero as well as derivative of zero is also zero. Therefore voltage can either be a constant or can be zero.
