The regions are arbitrary definitions on your line. Both charges influence the potential everywhere.JustStudying said:
Electric potential is a measure of the amount of electrical potential energy that a charged particle has at a specific point in space. It is measured in volts (V).
Electric potential is calculated by dividing the electrical potential energy of a charge by the amount of charge. The formula for electric potential is V = U/Q, where V is electric potential, U is electrical potential energy, and Q is charge.
When electric potential is zero, it means that there is no difference in electrical potential energy between two points in space. This can occur when there are equal and opposite charges canceling each other out, or when there is no charge present.
Charged particles will naturally move from areas of high electric potential to areas of low electric potential. This can cause them to accelerate or decelerate depending on the direction of the electric field. In a region where electric potential is zero, charged particles will not experience any force and will remain at rest.
Yes, there are many real-life examples of places where electric potential is zero. One example is in a neutral conductor, where the electric potential is the same throughout the material. Another example is at the center of a charged spherical conductor, where the electric potential is also zero due to the symmetry of the charge distribution.
