1 If the electric potential at some point is large, is the electric field at that point also necessarily large or not? Explain your answer, and provide a counterexample if not.

2. Assume the electric field E in some region is uniform: it is the same at all points. Specifically, E has a magnitude of 5 V/m and points in the +x direction. What can you then say about the behavior of the electric potential a) in the x direction and b) in the y direction? Explain your answers.
