true or false.. When the electric field is zero at a point, the potential must also be zero there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V=-pEcos \theta \] where E is electric field hence V is directly proportional to E so if E=0 then V =0

>.< thanks!

False: e.g. whatever the potential in a conductor, the electric field is zero.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

\(V=-pEcos \theta\) does not describe such a situation. In this formula, V is a potential energy, not an electric potential, and E is an externally applied electric field.

then what is answer according to you sir??

My first post says it: False!
