Question

An electric point charge q = 6uC is placed at
origin of x - y Co-ordinate axis. Calculate
electric potential due to the charge at point
P(12m, 16m) in free space.​

Answer 1

Concept introduction:

Electric potential of a point charge is $\frac{kq}{r}$.

Explanation:

Given that, an electric point charge q = $6uC$ is placed at origin of x - y Co-ordinate axis.

We have to find, electric potential of the point charge.

According to the question,

Electric potential = $8.98*10^{9} *6*10^{-6} /\sqrt{144+256}$

= $2.694*10^{3}$$V$

Final Answer:

Electric potential of point charge is  $2.694*10^{3}$$V$.
