How much energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 V battery?

We know that the equation gives us the potential difference between two locations.

W/Q = V, where

W denotes the amount of effort required to move the charge from one location to another.

The charge is Q.

The energy provided to each coulomb may be calculated using the equation above:

W = V Q

We obtain by substituting the numbers in the equation.

W = 6V × 1C = 6 J
