Question

5. How much energy is given to each electron passing through
a 6V battery?​

Answer 1

The energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 v battery is 6 J. The energy is given to each coulomb of charge is equal to the amount of work required to move it. Hence, The energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 v battery is 6 J

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that

Charge,q = 1 C

Potential difference V = 6 v

To find out

We need to find the energy given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 V battery.

Solution

Principle of conservation of energy

From the principle of conservation of energy, we know that the system’s work is equal to the energy supplied to that system.

The energy given to each coulomb of charge is equal to the amount of work required to move it.

Formula

Potential difference (V)= Work done (W) / Charge (q)

On rearranging the above formula, we get

Work done (W) = Potential difference X Charge

Put the value of V and q in the above equation, we get

Work done (w) = 6 X 1

Work  done = 6 Joules

Therefore, the energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 v battery is 6 J.
