Question

What is the electric potential, i.e. the voltage, 0.30 m from a point charge of 6.4 x 10-C?

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 192 kV

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance, r = 0.3 m

We need to find the electric potential at a distance of 0.3 m from a point charge. The formula for electric potential is given by :

$V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\\V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6.4\times 10^{-6}}{0.3}\\\\V=192000\ V\\\\V=192\ kV$

So, the required electric potential is 192 kV.
