How much work is done to move 1.0 micro coloumb of charge from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a 1.8V battery?

1 answer

1 Volt is the same as 1 Joule per Coulomb of charge. It takes 1 Joule to move 1 Coulomb across a 1 Volt voltage difference.

Therefore, multiply 10^-6 C (which is a microCoulomb) by 1.8 J/C

The answer will be energy with units of Joules
