PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What are the SI units for potential difference, as stated in the document?
Options
A Joules (J)
B Coulombs (C)
C Volts (V) or Joules/Coulomb (J/C)
Correct Answer
D Newtons/Coulomb (N/C)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 10, under 'Electric Potential; Capacitance', states: 'Its units are those of work per charge (joules/coulomb) and are designated as volts (V): 1 V = 1 J/C'. Both Volts and Joules/Coulomb are correct units.

Hint

Potential difference is defined as work (energy) per unit charge.
