Sphere's Electric Potential...HELP!

Homework Statement


A 2.04-mm-diameter ball bearing has 8.710×10^9 excess electrons. What is the ball bearing�s potential?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


V = (1/4*pi*Eo) * (Q/r)
Eo = 8.85 x 10^-12
Q = 1.6x10^-19 * 8.71x10^9
r = 0.00204/2
V = 12308.78 V

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Why are you multiplying your excess charge by Epsilon-not to get Q?
 
nevermind I just got it...thanks though!
