If the potential due to a point charge is 5.05 ✕ 102 V at a distance of 15.7 m, what are the sign and magnitude of the charge? (Enter your answer in C.)

Answer :

Answer:

The magnitude of charge is [tex]8.809\times 10^{-7}\ C[/tex] with a positive charge.

Explanation:

Given that,

The potential due to a point charge, [tex]V=5.05\times 10^2\ V[/tex]

Distance, d = 15.7 m

The potential due to a point charge is given by :

[tex]V=\dfrac{kq}{d}[/tex]

q is charge

k is electrostatic constant

[tex]q=\dfrac{Vd}{k}\\\\q=\dfrac{5.05\times 10^2\times 15.7}{9\times 10^9}\\\\q=8.809\times 10^{-7}\ C[/tex]  

Here, the potential is positive, then the magnitude of charge is [tex]8.809\times 10^{-7}\ C[/tex] with a positive charge.
