Solution

Electric potential away from the charge:
The amount of effort required to transport a unit charge from a reference point to a specified place in the presence of an electric field is called electric potential.
As users walk away from the charge, the potential gets increasingly negative and instead grows, coming nearer and nearer to zero.
Whether users are infinitely far away from the charge, the potential for both positive and negative charges becomes zero.
Therefore, the electric potential at a point located far away from the charge is taken to be zero.
