The Formula for Electric Potential is
EP = k q / r and comes from Coulomb's Law F = k q1 q2 / r^2 [see below]
EP = 9e9 3.5e -3 / 1.8 = 17.5 e 6 volts
Electric Potential is = Potential Energy per unit charge
It is also
Electric Potential = Energy needed to move the charge r meters through an Electric Field = k q / r^2
Note that Voltage is the Difference in EP between to locations = Work done moving between the 2 locations
against the Force of the Electric Field.
