Q. Considering a group of positive charges, which of the following statements is correct ?

Net potential of the system cannot be zero at a point but net electric field can be zero at that point.

Net potential of the system at a point can be zero but net electric field can't be zero at that point.

Both the net potential and the net electric field cannot be zero at a point.

Both the net potential and the net field can be zero at a point.

Correct answer is (a) Net potential of the system cannot be zero at a point but net electric field can be zero at that point.
