a point charge q is held stationary at the origin, its electric potential of 2.8 x 10^4 V is measured at 1.1m away from the point charge. what is the magnitude of the point charge q

Respuesta :

The magnitude of the point charge held stationary at the origin and at given electric potential is determined as 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ C.

Magnitude of the charge

The magnitude of the charge held stationary at the origin is calculated as follows;

V = kq/r

where;

  • k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²
  • q is the magnitude of the charge = ?
  • r is the distance of separation = 1.1 m

Substitute the given parameters into the above equation and solve magnitude of the point charge.

kq = Vr

q = Vr/k

q = (2.8 x 10⁴ x 1.1)/(9 x 10⁹)

q = 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ C

Thus, the magnitude of the point charge held stationary at the origin and at given electric potential is determined as 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ C.
