Can there be electric intensity at a point with zero electric potential ? Give an example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, electric intensity need not be zero at a point where the potential is zero.
(1) At mid point between two equal opposite charges potential is zero. But intensity is not zero.

ABC is an equilateral triangle of side 2m. There is a uniform electric field of intensity 100V/m in the plane of the triangle and parallel to BC as shown. If the electric potential at A is 200V, then the electric potentials at B and C.

There is a uniform electric field in the XOY plane represented by (40hat(j)+30hat(j))Vm^(-1) . If the electric potential at the origin is 200 V, the electric potential at the point with coordinates (2m,1m) is
