Question

how much energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6v battery ​

Answer 1

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 work done by the system 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential Difference = Work done / Charge

V = W / Q

GIVEN

Potential Difference = 6V

Work Done = Energy = W

Charge Q = 1C

∴ Potential Difference = Work done / Charge

 V = W / Q

  6V = W / 1

  6*1 = W

  Work = Energy = 6 J
