    Question

    The electric ___________ between two points in an electric circuit carrying some current is the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other.

    A.

    resistance

    B.

    charge

    C.

    potential difference

    D.

    current

    Correct option is C


    The electric potential difference (or voltage) between two points in a circuit is defined as the work done per unit charge to move the charge from one point to the other. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
    V = W/Q
    Where:
    · V = Potential difference (volts)
    · W = Work done (joules)
    · Q = Charge moved (coulombs)

    Resistance
    The Measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
    The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm ( Ω ).
    Named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a
    German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
    Charge
    Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
    Common symbols: Q.
    SI unit: Coulomb.
    Current
    Current is the flow of electrical charge carriers like electrons.
    Current flows from negative to positive points.
    Sl unit: Ampere (A).
