- (0,0,0) and the 5. The point o is the origin of the coordinate system, o = coordinates of b are b = (x,y, z). The electric potential at o is zero, V, = 0. Hence, the electric potential at b is V = – E · dr. You can take any path from o to b. (a) Here is one particular path from o to b. First move on a straight line from o to a = : (x,0,0), then from a to a' = (x, Y, 0), and finally from a' to b = (x, y, z). Make a plot of this path, indicating the coordinate system and the locations of a, a' and b. – SE • dr depends only on the y However, the line integral V coordinate of b = (x, y, z). Hence, in the following, we will focus on b = (0, y, 0) and take the straight path from o to b.
