Can there be electric potential at a point with zero electric intensity? |
|
Answer» Solution :Yes. There can exist potential at a point where the ELECTRICAL intensity is zero. Ex-1: In the case of charged spherical CONDUCTOR, the intensity of the ELECTRIC field is zero inside that conductor but the potential inside the spherical conductor is constant. Ex-2: Consider the similar CHARGES of equal magnitude separated by a distance. At the mid-point the electric field is zero. But there exists some potential as the potential due to the charge are of same POLARITY. |
