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

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