Question

Can electric potential be zero when the electric field is not zero?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that,

An electric field is a force per unit charge and an electric potential is an energy per unit charge.

Since,Let us consider the case of the electric dipole,

At the midpoint of the charges of the electric dipole, the electric field due to the charges is non-zero, but the electric potential is zero.

Hence, the electric potential can be zero when the electric field is not zero.
