The electric potential a distance r from a point charge q is 2.40×104 V.
One meter farther away from the charge the potential is 6500 V.


Homework Equations


V=kq/r


The Attempt at a Solution


6500 = 8.99x10^9 (q) / 1m
q = 7.230 x 10^-7
then,
r= kq/v
r= 8.99x10^9 (7.230 x 10^-7) / 2.40×104
r= 0.27.
