Question
What is the potential difference between the terminals of a battery if 250 joules of work is required to transfer 20 coulombs of charge from one terminal of battery to the other?
Solution
Here:
Work, W = 250 J
Charge, Q = 20 C
Using the relation, V = W/Q:
Potential difference, V = 250/20 = 12.5 V
