Question
How is the absolute potential at a point P due to a point charge q₀, at a distance r in vacuum, calculated?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
On page 10, the text states: 'The absolute potential at P due to the charge q₀ is V = k₀q₀/r'.
Hint
The formula for absolute potential due to a point charge involves the Coulomb constant, the charge, and the distance, but pay attention to the exponent of r.
