NEET Physics Electric Field and Potential MCQ Question
Considering a group of positive charges, which of the following statements is correct?
Net potential of the system cannot be zero at a point but net electric field can be zero at that point.
Net potential of the system at a point can be zero but net electric field can't be zero at that point.
Both the net potential and the net field can be zero at a point.
Both the net potential and the net electric field cannot be zero at a point.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric field can be zero at a point due to vector cancellation, but potential being a scalar cannot be zero.
