Question

The electric potential at a point in free space due to a charge $$Q$$ coulomb is $$Q \times {10^{11}}V.$$   The electric field at that point is

A. $$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}\,Q \times {10^{22}}\,V/m$$  
B. $$12\pi {\varepsilon _0}\,Q \times {10^{20}}\,V/m$$
C. $$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}\,Q \times {10^{20}}\,V/m$$
D. $$12\pi {\varepsilon _0}\,Q \times {10^{22}}\,V/m$$
Answer :   $$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}\,Q \times {10^{22}}\,V/m$$
Solution :
As potential at any point due to a point charge is given by,
$$\eqalign{ & V = \frac{{kQ}}{r}\,\,\left[ {k = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}} \right] \cr & V = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} \times \frac{Q}{r} \cr & E = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} \times \frac{Q}{{{r^2}}} \cr & E = \frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{V^2}}}{Q} = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0} \times \frac{{{Q^2} \times {{10}^{22}}}}{Q} \cr & E = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0}Q \times {10^{22}}\,V/m \cr} $$
