Question

What is the electric potential of a 4.5 × 10-5 C charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.027 J?

Answer 1

The answer is certainly 600 volts, would someone please explain how though?

Answer 2

Answer : Electric potential is 600 V

Explanation :

It is given that,

Electric charge,
`q=4.5* 10^(-5)\ C`

Electric potential energy,
`U=0.027\ J`

The relation between the electric potential and the electric potential energy is given by :

`U=qV`

`V=(U)/(q)`

`V=(0.027\ J)/(4.5* 10^(-5)\ C)`

`V=600\ V`

Hence, the electric potential is 600 V.
