Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Given that,

q = 1 C

Potential V = 6 v

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

The amount of work is given by the formula of potential difference

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

The work done is

$W=V\times q$...(I)

Where, W = work done

V = potential difference

q = charge

Put the value of V and q in equation (I)

$W=6\times 1$

$W=6\ J$

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

Answer 2

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
