Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question

Is electric potential at any point in space necessarily zero if intensity of electric field at that point is zero?

Answer

Electric potential necessarily need not be 0 if the electric field at that point is zero. For instance, at a point mid-way between two equal and similar charges, the electric field strength is zero but the electric potential is not zero.
