The electric potential at a point P due to a point charge of 9 μC located 10 cm away from point P is |
$8.1 × 10^6 V$ $8.1 × 10^7 V$ $8.1 × 10^4 V$ $8.1 × 10^5 V$ |
$8.1 × 10^5 V$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $8.1 × 10^5 V$ $\text{Given: } q = 9~\mu\text{C} = 9 \times 10^{-6}~\text{C},~ r = 10~\text{cm} = 0.1~\text{m}$ $\text{Electric potential due to a point charge: } V = \frac{k q}{r}$ $k = 9 \times 10^9~\text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2$ $V = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 9 \times 10^{-6}}{0.1}$ $V = \frac{81 \times 10^3}{0.1} = 8.1 \times 10^5~\text{V}$ $\text{Answer: } V = 8.1 \times 10^5~\text{V}$ |
