Best Answer

When one coulomb of charge (electrons) is lifted through a potential difference

of 1 volt, it gains one joule of energy.

When one coulomb of charge (like 1 Amp flowing for 1 second) drops through a

potential difference of one volt, it loses one joule of energy ... which is used to

generate 1 joule of heat and/or light, transmit 1 watt of radio for 1 second, run

a 1-watt motor for 1 second, etc.

How many volts does an AED deliver?

The AED delivers a shock energy, with units of joules (see the related link). There is not a direct conversion from joules to volts. I have read that the AED has the capability of about 1000 volts. For a comparison of some AEDs and their energy output, see the other related link. An AED with child pads delivers less energy per shock; as low as 50 joules whereas some for an adult will deliver 360 joules or 400 joules.

Watts is volts times amperes. Volts is joules per coulomb. The two units are not directly related without some other parameter, such as resistance or current. Please restate the question.

How much energy does a 12 V battery in your car use to move 2.5 C through the electical circuit?

It takes 31.5 joules for 12 volts to move 2.5 coulombs. Volts is joules per coulomb. The rest is just algebra, i.e. joules is coulombs times volts, 2.5 times 12 is 31.5.

What is the relationship between amperage voltage and power.?

The relationship between amperes, volts, and watts is... watts = amperes * volts Confirming by looking at the fundamental units involved... watts (joules per second) = amperes (coulombs per second) * volts (joules per coulomb)
