Let's determine the relationship between voltage and energy.

Voltage can be said to be the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against the electric field.

It is used to measure electric potential which is a form of potential energy.

Energy can be said to be the integral of power over time. It is the potential to do work.

The expression to find energy is:

Energy = Power x Time

Volt is the per unit charge while energy is the volts times charge.

We have the formula:


V=(W)/(Q)

Where:

• V is the voltage

,

• W is the energy

,

• Q is the charge.

Therefore, the relationship between voltage and energy is that voltage is the energy per unit charge at some point in space.

ANSWER:

c. Voltage is the energy per unit charge at some point in space.
