Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a given point in an electric field. Calculating electric potential involves understanding the relationship between electric potential, distance, and charges. To calculate the electric potential at a given point, we can use the formula:

V = k (Q / r)

Where:

  • V represents the electric potential at the given point,
  • k is Coulomb's constant with a value of approximately 9 x 10^9 Nm²/C²,
  • Q is the charge creating the electric field,
  • r is the distance between the point and the charge.
