Electric Potential at a Point in Space Due to a Point Charge Q

Draw a plot s...

Question

Draw a plot showing the variation of (i) electric field $(E)$ and (ii) electric potential $(V)$ with distance $r$ due to a point charge $Q$ .

Open in App

Solution

The field at distance r due to point charge Q is $E = k Q / r^{2}$ and the potential is $V = k Q / r$
The variation of field E and potential V with distance is as shown in figure.
