PHY 102 Current Electricity Objective Question

Question

How is the electrical work (W) required to transfer a charge (q) through a potential difference (V) given?
Options
A W = q / V
B W = V / q
C W = q * V
Correct Answer
D W = (q * V)^2
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 states, "The electrical work (W) required to transfer a charge q through a potential difference V is given by W = qV".

Hint

Work done is charge times potential difference.
