If the potential at a point which is 1m from a charge is 1 volt, them the potential at a pont which is 2m from the same charge will be:

  1. A.2v
  2. B.1v
  3. C.0.5v
  4. D.3v

Why C is correct

Electric potential V due to point charge varies as 1/r (V = kQ/r). Doubling the distance halves the potential, so 1 V → 0.5 V at 2 m.
