How much energy is given to each coulombs of charge passing through a 6V battery ?

Correct option is C

The energy ($E$) provided to a charge ($Q$) by a battery is related to the voltage ($V$) of the battery using the formula:

$$E=V\cdot Q$$

Where:

• $E$ = Energy (in joules),
• $V$ = Voltage (in volts),
• $Q$ = Charge (in coulombs).

Substituting the given values:

• Voltage $V=6\text{V}$,
• Charge $Q=1\text{C}$.

$$E=6\cdot 1=6\text{J}$$

Thus, the energy given to each coulomb of charge is 6 joules.

Information Booster:

1. Voltage is defined as the energy provided per unit charge.
2. A $6\text{V}$ battery means that every coulomb of charge passing through it gains 6 joules of energy.
3. The formula $E=V\cdot Q$ applies universally, regardless of the charge's magnitude.

Key Concept:

• Higher voltage batteries provide more energy per coulomb of charge, enabling more work to be done in a circuit.
