    We can find the potential using the equation

    V = kQ/r

    Where V is the potential, k corresponds to the Coulomb constant

    k = 9. 10^9 N N. m^2/C^2, Q is the charge and r is the radius of the sphere (r = 2.5.10^-3 m)

    Substituting in the equation we obtain

    V = (9. 10^9 N N. m^2/C^2) * (40.10^-12 C) / (2.5.10^-3 m) =

    V = 144 V (Potential near its surface)
