The equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r
where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance.
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect,
Point 1:
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r
Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.
