potential difference of 12 V?
Q.5 Calculate the work done in moving a charge of 4 coulombs from a point at
220 volts to another point at 230 volts.
Q.6 What is the potential difference between the terminals of a battery if 250 joules of
work is required to transfer 20 coulombs of charge from one terminal of battery to the
other?
Q.7 Three 2 V cells are connected in series and used as a battery in a circuit.
(a) What is the p.d. at the terminals of the battery?
(b) How many joules of electrical energy does 1 C gain on passing through
(i) one cell (ii) all three cells?

Q.8 If a potential difference of 10 V causes a current of 2 A to flow for 1 minute, how

much energy is transferred?
Q.9 In 10 s, a charge of 25 C leaves a battery, and 200 J energy of are delivered to an
outside circuit as a result.
(a) What is the p.d. across the battery?
(b) What current flows from the battery?
