If 
at a point in space, must 
.
If at some point, must at that point.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Electric potential is the potential energy per unit charge at a point in space and electric field is the electric force per unit charge at a point in space. If one of these quantities is zero, the other one is no necessarily zero.
There is no general relationship between the value of V and the value of E . Instead, the magnitude of E is equal to the rate at which V decreases over a short distance.
