Question

what is the electric potential at a point in space if a charge of 7.3x 10^-17 coulombs at that point has a potential energy of 6.4

Answer 1

V = 0.87 volt

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Charge,
`q=7.3* 10^(-17)\ C`

Electric potential energy,
`U=6.4* 10^(-17)\ J`

We need to find the value of electric potential at a point. The relation is as follows :

`V=(U)/(q)`

Where

V is electric potential

So,

`V=(6.4* 10^(-17))/(7.3* 10^(-17))\\\\V=0.87\ V`

So, the value of the electric potential at a point is equal to 0.87 Volts.
