Electric potential and electric potential energy relationship

Physics Asked by Dee on May 8, 2021

I have a problem in where the electric potential has a constant value of six volts everywhere in a 3D region, the points are spread out. My question is would the electric potential energy of the system be the same all throughout no matter the distance since the electric potential is the same at all points?

Since potential is just work done or energy per unit charge, potential energy will also be same everywhere for a charge Q.

What you want is

$$mathbf{E} = -nabla phi - frac{partial mathbf{A}}{partial t}$$

The energy you might be looking for is: begin{align} E &= epsilon_0 int mathbf{E} cdot mathbf{E} mathrm dV &= epsilon_0 int left(nabla phi + frac{partial mathbf{A}}{partial t}right)left(nabla phi + frac{partial mathbf{A}}{partial t} right) mathrm dV end{align}
