A little question about electric fields...

Recommended Posts

Im studying electric potential in my physics class, and I need some clarification on the concept behind it.

 

The electric field of a point charge is capable of extending an infinite distance, right?

 

Does this mean that electric potential spreads to infinity as well?

Im sorry, :embarass: I should know this by now lol

 

Any info is greatly appreciated...
