Question

) What is the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 7.50× 10-11 m? Assume the potential is equal to zero as r→∞. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer 1

Electric potential, V = 19.2 volts

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to find the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of
`7.5* 10^(-11)\ m`. For this we must know the concept of electric potential. It is the work done in moving a charged particle in electric field from zero to a particular point. Its formula is given by :

`V=(kq)/(r)`

q is the charge of nucleus of hydrogen i.e. proton

`V=(9* 10^9* 1.6* 10^(-19))/(7.5* 10^(-11))`

`V=19.2\ \text{volt}`

So, the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a given distance is 19.2 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.
