Question

How does the electric potential due to a point charge depend on the distance from the charge?

Answer 1

As we know that electric potential due to a point charge is given by

`V = (KQ)/(r)`

here we know that

Q = magnitude of charge

r = distance from the charge

so as per above formula we can say that electric potential of a point charge will inversely depends on the distance from the charge.

so here we will have say that if the distance from the point charge will increase the electric potential due to charge at that point will decrease
