A solid conducting sphere has net positive charge and radiusR = 0.600 m . At a point 1.20 m from the center of the sphere, the electric potential due to the charge on the sphere is 18.0 V . Assume that V = 0 at an infinite distance from the sphere.

What is the electric potential at the center of the sphere?

The electric potential at the center of the sphere is 36 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius R= 0.600 m

Distance D = 1.20 m

Electric potential = 18.0 V

We need to calculate the electric potential

Using formula of electric potential

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the electric potential at the center of the sphere

Using formula of potential

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The electric potential at the center of the sphere is 36 V.

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
