How many coulontos of charge move across a 120 V source when 1440 J of energy is
required?
The energy, voltage and charge are related as
ΔE=q⋅ΔV∴q=ΔEΔV=1440 J120 V=12JJ/C=12 C\Delta E = q\cdot \Delta V \\ \text{} \\ \therefore q = \frac{\Delta E }{ \Delta V}= \frac{1440\,J }{ 120\,V}= 12 \frac{\cancel{J }}{ \cancel{J}/C}= 12\,CΔE=q⋅ΔV∴q=ΔVΔE=120V1440J=12J/CJ=12C
Therefore, the amount of charge moved is 12 Coulombs.
