Question

Electric potential due to a point charge –q at distance x from it is given by:

Answer 1

Answer:

electric potential is the work done to bring a unit test charge from infinity to the point where potential is to be defined it is a scalar quantity so potential is=k(-q)/x

Explanation:

t

Answer 2

Electric potential due to a point charge –q at distance x from it is given by V = -Kq/x

Electric potential is the amount of work that has to be done in bringing a unit positive charge from one position to another position present in an electric field.

It is given by a formula that is

V = KQ/r

here V is electric potential, K is a constant having its value as 9×10^9 N.m^2/C^2, Q is a charge on that particle, r is the distance through which it is travelled.

here we are given charge -q and distance as x

V = -Kq/x

Therefore, Electric potential will be -Kq/x.
