Electric potential of location in
field
V = PEe/qtest
V = electric potential
PEe = electric potential energy
qtest = test charge
Units: volts (V)
Electric potential around a point
charge
V = electric potential
k = Coulomb’s constant
q = point charge
r = distance from charge
What is the electric potential at
the location of the test charge?
V = PEe/qtest
V = (3.2×10í^16 J)/(1.6×10í^19 C)
V = 2.0×10^3 V = 2000 V
