Question

Define electric potential and obtain the formula for the electric potential due to a point charge.

Answer 1

Recall that the electric potential is definedas the potential energy per unit charge, i.e. V=PEq V = PE q . ... The equation for the electric potential due to a point charge is V=kQr V = kQ r , where k is a constant equal to 9.0×109 N⋅m2/C2.
