The electric field at a point in a certain region of free space due to a charge Q is 0. The electric potential at that point is
Options
- Aconstant.
- Bzero.
- Cinfinite.
- Ddirectly proportional to the charge Q.
Correct answer
B. zero.
Step-by-step solution
The electric field due to a point charge at a distance is given by .
Given that the electric field , this implies that the distance (assuming ).
The electric potential due to the charge at a distance is given by .
As , the electric potential .
Therefore, the electric potential at that point is zero.
Answer: zero.
