Calculate the energy transferred given the voltage, current and time

Homework Statement

IF A POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE OF 10 V CAUSES A CURRENT OF 2 A TO FLOW FOR 1 MINUTE,HOW MUCH ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED ?

Relevant Equations

Q=I*T

its may be 1200 j but i dont understand the process

 

[Mohammad Ishmas]

We know , W = Q*V (where Q is charge, V is potential difference and W is workdone ) this formula comes from the definition of Potential difference itself



Also, we know Q = I*t ( where Q is charge, I is electrical current and t is time ) this formula comes from the definition of current

Substitute the value of Q in the first formula , then W = V*I*t and since workdone is equivalent to energy transferred therefore, E = V*I*t

Putting in the values you can find your answer of 1200 J

Hope this helps

Please read our guidelines: upper case is considered shouting and in this case there is no need for that

In addition you should post your best attempt at solution before you are allowed assistance -- and merely quoting the book answer doesn't count.
