The x-axis in electric potential is a representation of distance or position in space. It is typically used to measure the distance from a reference point to a specific location where the electric potential is being calculated.
The electric potential on the x-axis is calculated using the formula V = kQ/x, where V represents the electric potential, k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the electric charge, and x is the distance from the reference point.
The units used to measure electric potential on the x-axis are volts (V) or joules per coulomb (J/C).
Yes, the electric potential on the x-axis can be negative. This occurs when the reference point has a higher electric potential than the point being measured. It indicates that work must be done to move a positive charge from the reference point to the point being measured.
The electric potential on the x-axis follows an inverse relationship with distance. As the distance increases, the electric potential decreases, and vice versa. This is due to the fact that the electric field strength weakens with distance and therefore the work required to move a charge also decreases.
