Answer

$V=37200$ V

Work Step by Step

For Gaussian surface, the electric flux is given as: $\phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{\circ}}$ This simplifies to $q={\phi}{\epsilon_{\circ}}$ We plug in the known values in the formula to obtain: $q=5.60\times 10^4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}$ $q=4.956\times 10^{-7}C$ Now we can find electric potential through the formula: $V=K\frac{q}{r}$ We plug in the known values in this formula to obtain: $V=9\times 10^9\times\frac{4.956\times 10^{-7}}{0.12}$ $V=37200V$
