Problem

Calculate the electric potential at a point 5 cm5\,\text{cm} away from a point charge of +2 μC+2\,\mu\text{C} in vacuum. (Take 14πϵ0=9×109 N m2 ⁣/C2\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}=9\times10^{9}\,\text{N m}^2\!\text{/C}^2.) (a) 3.6×104 V3.6\times10^{4}\,\text{V} (b) −3.6×105 V-3.6\times10^{5}\,\text{V} (c) 3.6×105 V3.6\times10^{5}\,\text{V} (d) 7.2×106 V7.2\times10^{6}\,\text{V}
