Electric Monopole

For an electric charge q (i.e., an electric monopole), the voltage (a.k.a. electric potential) in cgs is given by

(1)

where r is the distance from the charge. In MKS, the corresponding formula is

(2)

where is the permittivity of free space. This function is plotted in the left figure above.
