Answer: V = 675000v

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric potential V can be calculated by using the formula

V = Kq/r

Where

V = electric potential

q = charge = 15µC

K = Coulomb constant = 9 × 10^9Nm^2C^-2

r = 20 cm

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V = (9×10^9 × 15×10^-6)/20×10^-2

V = 135000/0.2

V = 675000 volt
