Question

A battery does 2.186 J of work to transfer 0.033 C of charge from the negative to the positive terminal. What is the emf of this battery?

Answer 1

66.24 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

W = Amount of work done in moving the charge from negative to positive terminal = 2.186 J

Q = Amount of charge being moved from negative to positive charge = 0.033 C

ΔV = EMF of the battery

Amount of work done in moving the charge from negative to positive terminal is given as

W = Q ΔV

2.186 = (0.033) ΔV

ΔV = 66.24 Volts
