When a particle carrying a charge of is brought from infinity to a point P, of work is done. What is the potential at the point P?
Concept used: Potential difference
Prerequisite: Knowledge of potential difference
Step 1: Given data,
Step 2: Calculate the potential,
Considering the work done at infinity is zero, i.e., .
The potential at any point due to the movement of the charge is given by,
Substitute the given values in above equation,
Thus, the potential at point P is 200 V.
