Lesson: Absolute Electric Potential

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

Worksheet: 6 Questions

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 ?
