Answer

$ V _r = - 6.81 \times 10^{-4} V$

Work Step by Step

We have the equation: $ V _r = - \frac{qr^2}{8\pi \epsilon R^3} $ We know that R=r, so we simplify: $ V _r = - \frac{q}{8\pi \epsilon R} $ We substitute the known values to obtain: $V_r=\frac{3.5\times10^{-15}}{8\pi(8.854\times10^{-12}(2.31\times10^{-2})}$ $ V _r = - 6.81 \times 10^{-4} V$
