Potential Difference Between Two Points: 100J of Work Done

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the potential difference between two points in an electrical field, given that 100 joules of work is done to move 4 coulombs of charge. The potential difference (V) can be determined using the formula V = W/Q, where W is work done (100J) and Q is charge (4C). This results in a potential difference of 25 volts. The conversation also touches on the fundamental units of volts, which are derived from joules per coulomb.

Potential difference is measured in Volts. What more fundamental units do Volts break into?
 
so how to solve this question?
