Question

If it requires 3 J of work to move a charge of 0.5 C through an unknown voltage, what is the magnitude of the voltage?

Answer 1

Given that the work done is W = 3 J.

The charge given is q = 0.5 C

We have to find the voltage.

The voltage can be calculated by the formula

`V\text{ = }(W)/(q)`

Substituting the values, the voltage will be

`\begin{gathered} V=\text{ }(3)/(0.5) \\ \text{ = }6\text{ V} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the magnitude of voltage is 6 V
