Electric Potential Difference — Quiz

Question 4 • Physics

What is the electric potential at a distance of 1 point 2 m from a 7 point 5 µC point charge?

Answer
A
5 point 6 times 10 to the 10th power cap v
B
8 point 1 times 10 to the 4th power cap v
C
8 point 1 times 10 to the 10th power cap v
D
5 point 6 times 10 to the 4th power cap v

Explanation

For a point charge, electric potential is V = kq/r. Substituting k = 8.99 × 10⁹, q = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ C, and r = 1.2 m gives V = (8.99 × 10⁹)(7.5 × 10⁻⁶)/1.2 ≈ 5.6 × 10⁴ V. Therefore, the potential is 5.6 × 10⁴ volts, choice D.
