Question

What is meant by saying that the potential difference between two points is 1 V?

​

Answer 1

We know that the potential difference between two points is given by the equation,

V = W/Q, where,

W is the work done in moving the charge from one point to another

Q is the charge

From the above equation, we can find the energy given to each coulomb as follows:

W = V × Q

Substituting the values in the equation, we get

W = 6V × 1C = 6 J

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

Answer 2

Answer:

If 1 J of work is required to move a charge of amount 1 C from one point to another, then it is said that the potential difference between the two points is 1 V.
