Answer

$V_{ball}= 5.76*10^{3}$v

Work Step by Step

Number of excess electrons $= 2.0* 10^{9}$ Thus charge $q$ on the ball $= 2.0* 10^{9}* 1.6*10^{-19}$c $q = 3.2*10^{-10}$c Radius $r$ of the ball $=\frac{diameter}{2} = 0.5mm = 5*10^{-4}m$ Therefore Potential of the ball $= \frac{k*q}{r}$ $V_{ball}= \frac{9*10^{9} * 3.2*10^{-10}}{5*10^{-4}}$v $V_{ball}= 5.76*10^{3}$v
