In my teacher gave us homework on electricity. One of the questions ask "what is the potential energy of the pair of charges? Answer in the units of V." Is that an error, or is there a way to convert Joules to Volts?

No, potential energy is not measured in Volts. Volts is a unit of electric potential, while potential energy is a measure of the stored energy an object has due to its position or configuration.
Yes, there is a relationship between potential energy and Volts. Potential energy can be calculated using the equation PE = qV, where q is the charge of the object and V is the electric potential in Volts.
Potential energy and electric potential are directly related. As an object moves through an electric field, its potential energy changes based on its position and the electric potential at that position.
No, potential energy and electric potential are not the same. Potential energy is a measure of the stored energy an object has, while electric potential is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field.
No, potential energy and Volts cannot be directly converted into each other as they are measuring different quantities. However, they are related through the equation PE = qV, and can be calculated using this relationship.
