By definition a volt is a joule per coulomb,

V=W/Q (V is voltage, W is work done or energy measured in joules, Q is charge measured in coulombs)

therefore 1 volt is 1 joule per 1 coulomb of charge

(1C of charge is a very large amount to expect to see very small numbers for charge)

How many joules of energy does each coulomb of charge have at the battery terminals?

That depends on the voltage. In general, a coulomb of charge will either gain or lose (depending on the direction) one joule of energy for every volt of potential difference. For example, if the battery has 12 V, a coulomb of charge will gain or lose 12 joules of energy when going from one terminal to the other.


What is the voltage at the location of a Coulomb charge that has an electric potential?

A positive test charge of 1.6 x 10-11 C is placed in an electric field The force acting on it is 3.2 x 10-4 N What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at the point where the charge is placed


What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001-Coulomb charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 joules?

Electric Potential = Electrical Potential Energy/ Charge The measurement for electric potential is call the volt. Electrical Potential is often called voltage. Voltage or Electrical Potential = 0.5 Joules / .0001 Coloumb = 5000


WHAT IS An excessive amount of electrons at one end of a conductor and deficiency at the other?

Voltage <><><><><> Actually, an excess or deficit of electrons is called a charge. It is measured in coulombs. Voltage is joules per coulomb, meaning that voltage is energy per charge.


How If 60 J of energy are available for every 15 C of charge what is the voltage?

Voltage has the dimensions of energy / charge, in SI units, J/C. Depending on what you mean by "energy ... available", you can simply divide the energy by the charge. If there is a certain number of volts between two points - for example 10 volts - that means that every coulomb of charge gains 10 joules of energy in one direction, or loses 10 joules of energy in the other direction.

Voltage is "electrical pressure", so to speak, or energy per charge. Volts is joules per coulomb.

How much energy given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 volt battery?

The potential difference ('voltage') is equal to the work done per unit charge, i.e. the energy given to each Coulomb of charge. So, a six Volt battery provides six Joules of energy to each Coulomb of charge.

Can you please define current?

Current is the flow of electrical charge, measured in amperes. One ampere is defined as one coulomb per second. One coulomb is about 6.24x1018 protons or electrons.A few more terms to crystallize things... Some people confuse current and voltage. They are not the same thing. Current, as stated above is a flow of charge, while voltage is the energy behind that charge, in volts, or joules per coulomb. Power is the rate of work done by the energy, in joules per second or watts, or volts times amperes. Energy, joules, is the integral of the power.

What is the difference between voltage and power?

Voltage is electromotive force, in joules per coulomb. Power is energy transfer rate in joules per second, also known as watts.Not asked, but answered for completeness sake, and also to show the relationship between voltage and power, current is charge transfer rate in coulombs per second. So, if you multiply voltage (joules per coulomb) by amperes (joules per second) you get watts (joules per second).


For an electric current to flow the only thing needed is for two objects to have a difference in charge?

Actually, they need a difference in energy per charge. Voltage is energy per charge, in joules per coulomb, and a voltage differential is what is required to create an electric current flow.


What is voltage how it produce?

Voltage is energy per charge, in joules per coulomb, commonly known as the volt. It is produced by batteries, generators, current sources across resistances, voltage sources, thermocouples, solar cells, etc.
