In a certain region of space the electric potential V is known to be constant. Is the electric field in this region (a) positive (b) zero ,or (c ) negative ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electric field relates the electric potential V by E = - `(dV)/(dr)` . To differentiatea constant potential gives zero electric field
