Find out the relationship between the electric field and electric potential include which of the following statement?

I. If the electric field at a certain point is zero, then the electric potential at the same point is also zero.

II. The electric potential is inversely proportional to the strength of the electric field.

III. If the electric potential at a certain point is zero, then the electric field at the same point is also zero.

Q. Assertion :The electric Potential and the electric field intensity at the center of a square having fixed point charges at their vertices as shown in figure are zero. Reason: If electric potential at a point is zero then the magnitude of electric field at that point must be zero.

Q. Statement A: Electric potential may exist at a point where the electric field is zero
Statement B: Electric Field may exist at a point where the electric potential is zero.
Statement C: The electric potential inside a charged conducting sphere is constant.

Q. Assertion :For a non-uniformly charged thin circular ring with net charge zero, the electric field at any point on axis of the ring is zero. Reason: For a non-uniformly charged thin circular ring with net charge zero, the electric potential at each point on axis of the ring is zero.
