1.	Define the term 'volt'. (b) State the relation between work, charge and potential difference from an electric circuit. Calculate the potential difference between the two terminals of a battery if 100 joules of work is required to transfer 20 coulombs of charge from one terminal of the battery to the other.
Answer» Solution :The term volt is the SI unit of potential difference . Potential difference is said to be 1 volt if one joule WORK is to be done to carry 1 coulomb charge from one point to ANOTHER. (b) The relation between work (W), charge (Q) and potential difference (V) for an electric circuit is `V=W/Q` Given that W=100J and Q=20C `therefore` Potential difference `V=W/A=(100 J)/(20 C)=5V`
