| ===== Example: Electric Potential from a Negatively Charged Balloon ===== |
Suppose we have a negatively charged balloon with total charge             . What is the electric potential (also called voltage) at a point , which is a distance      from the center of the balloon? | Suppose we have a negatively charged balloon with total charge             .

We assume lies outside of the balloon. This is obvious, as is a distance      away from the center of the balloon. | We assume lies outside of the balloon. This is obvious, as is a distance      away from the center of the balloon. |
