How come electric potentials have different signs?
Homework Statement The textbook says to find the electric potential due to a point charge by moving a test charge from R to infinity, and integrating using the equation below. But when I integrate from infinity to R, the sign switches. Why is that? Both times, electric potential at V is 0...- ben123467
