1.

State the SI unit and one non-SI unit of potential energy.

Answer»

SI unit of energy : the joule (J) 

Non-SI unit of energy : the electronvolt (eV).

In electrostatics, one joule is the change in electric potential energy when a charge of one coulomb is moved through a potential difference of 1 volt. Therefore, 1J = 1C × 1V, so that 1V = 1J/C.
