The electric field at a point in a certain region of free space due to a charge Q is 0. The electric potential at that point is

Options

  1. Aconstant.
  2. Bzero.
  3. Cinfinite.
  4. Ddirectly proportional to the charge Q.

Correct answer

B. zero.

Step-by-step solution

The electric field due to a point charge QQ at a distance rr is given by E=14πϵ0Qr2E = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{Q}{r^2}.

Given that the electric field E=0E = 0, this implies that the distance r→∞r \to \infty (assuming Q≠0Q \neq 0).

The electric potential due to the charge QQ at a distance rr is given by V=14πϵ0QrV = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{Q}{r}.

As r→∞r \to \infty, the electric potential V→0V \to 0.

Therefore, the electric potential at that point is zero.

Answer: zero.
