Chapter 19: Q7CQ (page 694)

What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric field鈥檚 strength will be zero in a region with constant electric potential.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the electric field

The change in potential with respect to the position gives the electric field strength. Its direction is opposite to the potential gradient.

\(E = - \frac{{dV}}{{dx}}\)

02

calculating the electric field’s strength in a region with constant electric potential

In the region where electric potential is constant, the change in potential with respect to the position is zero.

That means the electric field strength will be zero.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Voltage is the common word for potential difference. Which term is more descriptive, voltage or potential difference?

What charge is stored in the capacitor in Example 19.8?

Membranes in living cells, including those in humans, are characterized by a separation of charge across the membrane. Effectively, the membranes are thus charged capacitors with important functions related to the potential difference across the membrane. Is energy required to separate these charges in living membranes and, if so, is its source the metabolization of food energy or some other source?

What is the relationship between voltage and energy? More precisely, what is the relationship between potential difference and electric potential energy?

Sketch the equipotential lines for the two equal positive charges shown in Figure. Indicate the direction of increasing potential.
