Answer to Question #208645 in Electric Circuits for Ben

Question

How much energy in joule is each coulomb of charge given as it flows through the battery?

Answer 1

The energy 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 expression,

Potential difference = 6 V

Therefore

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

For example

Battery=6V

We know that

$W=QV$

Q=1C

V=6V

W=6 J
