The potential difference between two locations does not depend on the path taken between the locations chosen.


===A Mathematical Model===


In order to find the potential difference between two locations, we use this formula <math> dV = -\left(E_x*dx + E_y*dy + E_z*dz\right) </math>,  where '''E''' is the electric field with components in the x, y, and z directions. Delta x, y, and z are the components of final location minus to the components of the initial location.

In this example, the electric field is equal to <math> E = \left(E_x, 0, 0\right)</math>. The initial location is A and the final location is C. In order to find the potential difference between A and C, we use <math>dV = V_C - V_A </math>.

Since there are no y and z components of the electric field, the potential difference is <math> dV = -\left(E_x*\left(x_1 - 0\right) + 0*\left(-y_1 - 0\right) + 0*0\right)  = -E_x*x_1</math>

Let's say there is a location B at <math> \left(x_1, 0, 0\right) </math>. Now in order to find the potential difference between A and C, we need to find the potential difference between A and B and then between B and C.

The potential difference between A and B is <math>dV = V_B - V_A = -\left(E_x*\left(x_1 - 0\right) + 0*0 + 0*0\right) = -E_x*x_1</math>.

The potential difference between B and C is <math>dV = V_C - V_B = -\left(E_x*0 + 0*\left(-y_1 - 0\right) + 0*0\right) = 0</math>.

hhh


Therefore, the potential difference A and C is <math>V_C - V_A = \left(V_C - V_B\right) + \left(V_B - V_A\right) = E_x*x_1 </math>, which is the same answer that we got when we did not use location B.
