) What is the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 7.50× 10-11 m? Assume the potential is equal to zero as r→∞. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Electric potential, V = 19.2 volts

Explanation:

In this case we need to find the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of \(7.5\times 10^{-11}\ m\). For this we must know the concept of electric potential. It is the work done in moving a charged particle in electric field from zero to a particular point. Its formula is given by :

\(V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\)

q is the charge of nucleus of hydrogen i.e. proton

\(V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{7.5\times 10^{-11}}\)

\(V=19.2\ \text{volt}\)

So, the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a given distance is 19.2 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.
