Question

For a point charge, how does the potential vary with distance from the point charge, r?.

Answer 1

For a point charge, The potential varies inversely with distance from the point charge r, that is Potential V ∝ $\frac{1}{r}$

A point charge is defined as a charge that neither has mass nor volume, that is it exists as a single point.

The point charge with respect to the electric potential should be expressed in

V = KQ/r

Here we can say that the electric potential should be varied oppositely to the distance

Electric potential is defined as the amount of work needed to bring a charge from infinity to a certain place in opposition to electrostatic force. Only when there is a potential gradient at the conductor's ends do electrons travel across it.
