This is more of a general question and not a homework question, just to make it clear. Say two test charges are brought separately, one after the other, into the vicinity of a charge +Q. First test charge +q is brought to point B a distance r from +Q. This charge is removed and a test charge -q is brought to the same point. Now do we say that the electrostatic potential of +q is greater because it has a positive sign compared to -q? Or do we say their potentials are the equal because their magnetudes are the same? I assume it's the latter, isn't it?
