Hello, please could you explain the formula: work done = charge * voltage, and also give the units for work done (if there is one)?

The expression for the work done is given as


W=Q* V

*Here Q is the charge

*Here V is the potential difference

The work done in the electric circuit is the product of charge (Q) flows and the potential difference (V) in the circuit.

The basic standard unit for the work done is in Joules.
