Two nearby points are at the same potential. What is the intensity of electric field in this region?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

E = -d/dr where dV is change in potential for displacement dr. Since there is no change in potential, dV/dr = 0. Hence, electric intensity in the region is zero.
