To find the electric potential at point P when a charge of 10 µC is brought from infinity and 2.0 mJ of work is done by external forces, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between work done, charge, and electric potential. The work done (W) in bringing a charge (q) from a point at infinity (where the potential is considered to be zero) to a point P is given by the formula: \[ W = q \cdot V_P \] where \( V_P \) is the electric potential at point P. ### Step 2: Convert the given values into standard units. ...
