Relation between electric field and potential
Relation between electric field and potential
According to the relation between electric field and potential , o
o
Electric field is in the direction in which the potential decreases steepest .
Its magnitude is given by the change in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement normal to the equipotential surface at the point .
