Given q=5 μC=5×10−6 Cq = 5\ \mu\text{C} = 5\times 10^{-6}\ \text{C} and r=0.3 mr = 0.3\ \text{m}:

V=kqr=(9×109)(5×10−6)0.3=4.5×1040.3=1.5×105 VV = \frac{kq}{r} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(5\times 10^{-6})}{0.3} = \frac{4.5\times 10^4}{0.3} = 1.5\times 10^5\ \text{V}

✓Final answer

The potential at 30 cm30\ \text{cm} from the charge is 1.5×105 V1.5\times 10^5\ \text{V}.
