If the electric field is zero, the electric potential is a constant value, but it does not tell you what that value is. All the electric field tells you is how the electric potential changes within the region you are looking at. If the electric potential at one end of a cylindrical region is 7 V and the electric field is zero within the whole cylinder, then the electric potential is 7 V at the other end, or somewhere in the middle, or on the side, and so forth. An electric field of zero tells you the potential does not change, but doesn't say anything about what it is outside of the region you're looking at.

∙ 11y agoThe electric field is zero. In general terms, the electric field is the change in potential over a distance. If the potential does not change, the field is zero

Is the electric field zero or nonzero in a region of space if the potential is constant throughout this given region?
if the potential is constant throughout the given region of space then delta v=0, then by equation E=-delta v/delta r, E will be zero.
What is the difference between electron flow direction and electric current flow direction?
the electrons flow from the region of low potential to region of high potential. the electric current also flow in this direction but for convention we took it as the flow of positive charge from region of low to high region potential.
The potential is constant through a given region of space Is the electrical field zero or non zero?
the electrical
What is no flux condition?
Flux means the rate of change of magnetic field lines through a particular region in space. Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines drawn to demonstrate the magnetic field through a region in space. No flux condition means the magnetic field lines in the observed region in space is uniform throughout the experiment.
What is static electricity in terms of movement of electrons?
Here electrons get migrated from one region to the other. Here no contiuous flow of electrons. As electrons get migrated to one region, then negative potential created would oppose further migration of electrons and hence a negativ potential is created. This is what we call CHARGED. A capacitor is a device to store electric charges by following the phenomenon of electrostatic induction.
Is the electric field zero or nonzero in a region of space if the potential is constant throughout this given region?
if the potential is constant throughout the given region of space then delta v=0, then by equation E=-delta v/delta r, E will be zero.
When air pressure is constant throughout a region of the atmosphere the region is in a state is called what?
When air pressure is constant throughout a region of the atmosphere the region is in a state is called equilibrium.
What is the difference between electron flow direction and electric current flow direction?
the electrons flow from the region of low potential to region of high potential. the electric current also flow in this direction but for convention we took it as the flow of positive charge from region of low to high region potential.
When air pressure is constant throughout a region of the atmosphere the region is in a state of?
Air Mass or equlibrium
The potential is constant through a given region of space Is the electrical field zero or non zero?
the electrical
What is a neutral electric charge?
A uniform electric field has symmetrical and constant field effect throughout the region is permeates. Or in easier language, the test charge should encounter constant force through out the region when the electric field is uniform or constant. So, according to your query the uniform field is there, where the effect of the uniform is constant.
What is electricfield?
Electric field is a region where electric force can act on the object which is in that region.
Do electrons tend to go to region of high potential to region of lower potential?
electrons tend to go to the region of high potential because they are of negative charge.
What is no flux condition?
Flux means the rate of change of magnetic field lines through a particular region in space. Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines drawn to demonstrate the magnetic field through a region in space. No flux condition means the magnetic field lines in the observed region in space is uniform throughout the experiment.
Is throughout an adjective?
No, it is not. Throughout is a preposition (throughout the region) or an adverb (scattered throughout).
Why is electric potential mid-way between two opposite charges is zero?
acting oppisite forces make it so they cancel midway The repulsion of the like charges creates a space (Gap X) between their electric fields. At this region there would be no force felt as both charges have the same electric force magnitude; they push each other away equally, thereby making a "neutral" zone. Since there is no force the electric field would be zero.
What is osmosis in terms of water potential?
The net movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential across a permeable membrane
