- Thus, the potential difference Vf -Vi between any two points i and f in an electric field is equal to the negative of the line integral from i to f.
- Since the electrostatic force is conservative, all paths yield the same result.
- If we set potential Vi =0, then
- This is the potential V at any point f in the electric field relative to the zero potential at point i.
