Question

A proton has a positive electric charge of q = 1.6 × 10–19 coulombs. what is the electric potential at a point 5.3 × 10–11 m from the proton? 4.4 × 10–18 volts 2.7 × 101 volts 3.0 × 10–9 volts 5.1 × 101 volts

Answer 1

B. The electric potential at the given point from the proton is 2.7 x 10¹ volts

Electric potential of the proton

The electric potential of the proton is calculated as follows;

V = kq/r

where;

• k is Coulomb's constant
• q is charge
• r is distance

V = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)/(5.3 x 10⁻¹¹)

V = 27.2 volts

V = 2.7 x 10¹ volts
