Irrelevance of electrical potential

[QUOTE="tech99, post: 5709122, member: 477979"] For an isolated charged object, there is a potential between it and the rest of the Universe. The potential is the work done in bringing a unit charge to the object from an infinite distance. Taking the discussion a little further, it is interesting that if we have two plates spaced apart by a few times their maximum dimension, then the capacitance between them is roughly that for two isolated objects in series, and is much greater than that calculated for a parallel plate capacitor.
