PRACTICE / Electric potential

Potential near a positive charge

A +3 nC point charge is isolated in vacuum.

Find the electric potential 0.30 m from it.

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • q = 3×10⁻⁹ C
  • r = 0.30 m

Isolated point charge in vacuum; potential zero at infinity; k = 9 × 10⁹ N·m²/C².
