Potential Difference: 1 J = ? V

AI Thread Summary
To determine the potential difference when 1.0 joule of work moves 1.0 coulomb of charge, the formula for potential difference (V) is used, which is V = work/charge. This results in a potential difference of 1.0 volt. The discussion confirms that the correct answer is option 1, which is 1.0 x 10^0 V. Participants clarify that potential difference equates to the energy per unit charge. The conclusion is that the potential difference is indeed 1.0 volt.

Homework Statement



if 1.0 joule of work is required to move 1.0 coulomb of charge between two point in an eletric field the potential difference between the two point is

1) 1 .0 x 10 exponenet 0 v
2) 9.0 x 10 exponenet 9 v
3) 6.3 x 10 exponenet 18 v
4) 1.6 x 10 expeonent -19 v

Hi zelda1850! :smile:

(try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box :wink:)

Potential difference = potential energy per charge, and work is a form of energy. :wink:
 
oh so potienal difference is 1.0 too then?
 
Looks like it! :smile:
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
