Concept explainers
Charge must be present at a location in order for there to be electrical potential energy. Must charge also be present at a location for there to be electric potential?
To explain: Charge needed to present or not at a location for there to be electric potential.
Explanation of Solution
Electric potential energy is depend upon the charge of particle and the distance its is moved against the electric field, whereas the electric potential in a certain region is only due to the strength of electric field present in that region.
Charge must present at a location in order for there to be electrical potential energy. But for electric potential, charge doesn’t required because electric potential is solely depends upon the strength of electric field present in that region.
