Solution

The electric potential (V) at a point due to a point charge (q) is given by the formula:

V = k*q/r

where: k is Coulomb's constant, r is the distance from the charge.

Given: k = 910^9 Nm^2/C^2, q = 410^-7 C, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m (since 1 m = 100 cm).

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

V = 910^9 Nm^2/C^2 * 410^-7 C / 0.1 m V = 3610^2 V V = 3.610^4 V

So, the electric potential at the point is 3.610^4 V. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 3.610^4 V.
