Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Not necessarily. The electric field is related to the rate of change of electric potential, not to the value of the electric potential. Therefore, if the electric field is zero in some region of space, it follows that the electric potential is constant in that region. The constant value of the electric potential may be zero, but it may also be positive or negative.
