[SOLVED] Equipotential Surfaces Question

If the radius of the equipotential surface of point charge is 14.3 m at a potential of 2.20 kV, what is the magnitude of the point charge creating the potential?








have V = [1/4πεo] [q/r]
Given that,
V = 2.20kV = 2200V
r = 14.3m
Therefore,
q = 2200 x 14.3
9.0 x 10^9
= 3.495 x 10-6μC


Correct? Not correct? Please help me!
