Answer: find the answer in the explanation
Explanation: The potential energy in a circuit between two points is the workdone in taking units positive charge from one point to the other in the circuit. Its S.I unit is Joule.
Because voltage of a battery or cell in a circuit is the potential energy difference across its terminal
The potential energy difference between two points is one volt, if the workdone in taking one Coulomb of positive charge from one point to the other is one Joule.
