Voltage and Electric Field

i went to google.com and searched for :

relationship between voltage and electric field?

google proved this link

Can any one derive the basic relationship between voltage and electric field?

Huh?

The gradient of the potential difference is the electric field. Is that basic enough for you?

The higher the voltage, the higher the electro static field.

In the electrostatic limit (i.e. keeping the frequency very small compared to c divided by the typical dimension of the problem), the voltage between points A and B is the line integral of _E_ dot _ds_ along any path between A and B.

(It gets more complicated in the time-varying case--you have to worry about what gauge you're in.)
