If the electric field is zero in some region of space is the electric potential zero there as well? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
Not necessarily. The electric field is related to the rate of change of electric potential, not to the value of the electric potential. Therefore, if the electric field is zero in some region of space, it follows that the electric potential is constant in that region. The constant value of the electric potential may be zero, but it may also be positive or negative.

Why do the patterns of the stars in our sky look the same from year to year?
A) because the stars in the constellations move so slowly-typically about the speed of a snail-that their motions are not noticeable B) because the stars in the constellations are so far away C) because the stars in the constellations are not moving D) because the stars in the constellations all move at the same speeds and in the same directions, so they don't change their relative positions
When 1.0-µC point charge is 15 m from a second point charge, the force each one experiences a force of 1.0 µN. What is the magnitude of the second charge? (k = 1/4??0 = 9.0 × 109 N ? m2/C2)
A) 25 C B) 1.0 C C) 10 nC D) 0.025 C E) 25 nC
A charge of 5.0 pC is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface (radius = 2.0 cm), and a second charge of -2.0 pC is distributed uniformly on a concentric spherical surface (radius = 4.0 cm). Determine the magnitude of the electric field 3.0 cm from the center of the two surfaces
