The electric potential at a distance of 2 m from a certain point charge is 400 V relative to infinity. What is the potential (relative to infinity) at a distance of 4 m from the same charge?
A
200 V
B
50 V
C
400 V
D
100 V
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At a distance of 2 m, the potential will be “400 Volt".

Detailed explanation-2: -So we can say: Thus, The Electric Field Intensity will be 100 V/m at a distance of 4 metres from the point charge. So, the answer is Option (c) 4 m.

Detailed explanation-3: -The electric potential at a distance of 4 m from a certain point charge is 200 V relative to infinity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The electric potential at a point at a distance of 2m from a point charge of ‘0.1mu C‘ is 450V.

Detailed explanation-5: -We observe that the product of potential and distance is constant (equal to 6). Therefore V2=6E, which is the required relation between ‘V’ and ‘E’. Note: Students should always remember that electric potential is a scalar quantity whereas the electric field is a vector quantity.
