The potential 0.5 m from a point charge of 2 nC is about

  • A.18 V
  • B.72 V/m
  • C.36 V
  • D.72 V

Answer: C

Correct answer: 36 V

\[ V = \frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r} = \frac{2\times10^{-9}}{4\pi \times 8.854\times10^{-12} \times 0.5} = 36\ \mathrm{V}. \] Note the units: potential is in volts, and an answer quoted in volts per metre has computed the field instead.
