Lesson: Absolute Electric Potential High School Physics

Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the absolute electric potential at different positions due to combinations of radial electric fields.

Worksheet

Q1:

Find the absolute electric potential at point shown in the diagram. Use N⋅m²/C² for the value of Coulomb’s constant. Answer to two significant figures.

Q2:

A particle has a charge of 2.5 mC. Find the absolute electric potential at a point that is 15 cm away from the particle. Use N⋅m²/C² for the value of Coulomb’s constant. Answer to two significant figures.

Q3:

Which of the following formulas correctly relates the absolute electric potential caused by a charged particle to the charge of a particle , the distance from the particle , Coulomb’s constant , and the electric field due to a particle ?
