  1. V = k * Q / r
  2. V = k * Q * r
  3. V = Q / (4 * π * ε * r^2)
  4. V = Q / (4 * π * ε * r)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the electric potential (V) at a distance (r) from a point charge (Q)?
  • Step 1: Identify the point charge (Q) you are interested in.
  • Step 2: Determine the distance (r) from the point charge where you want to find the electric potential.
  • Step 3: Recall that Coulomb's constant (k) is approximately 8.99 x 10^9 N m²/C².
  • Step 4: Use the formula for electric potential: V = k * Q / r.
  • Step 5: Plug in the values of Q, r, and k into the formula.
  • Step 6: Calculate the result to find the electric potential (V) at the distance (r) from the point charge.
