What is the energy per unit is called?
The energy per unit charge is called the potentialdifference.
Which term describes the energy per unit charge in a circuit?
The SI unit of electric charge is called the coulomb. It is a derived unit, and is defined as the amount of charge moved by a steady state current of one ampere for one second. Alternatively, it is defined as the amount of charge across a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential of one volt. In terms of elementary charge, from nuclear physics, it is defined as the charge represented by about 6.24150965 x 1018 protons or electrons.
The difference in energy per unit charge as a charge moves between two points in the path of a circuit?
voltage
What is the difference in energy per unit of charge between two points in a circuit?
voltage
The work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to certain point keeping the unit charge in equilibrium is called?
Potential difference
Why is electro motive force called a force?
EMF is the energy per unit electric charge that is imparted by an energy source, such as an electric generator or a battery. As the device does work on the electric charge being transferred within itself, energy is converted from one form to another. This is the reason why it is called a force.The work done on a unit of electric charge or the energy gained by the unit charge is the electromotive force emf (or E) and is characteristic of any energy source capable of driving electric charge around a circuit. A common unit of electromotive force is the volt V, a unit equal to the difference in electric potential between two points in a conductor carrying a current of one ampere and dissipating one watt of power between the two points.
Is a coulomb the base unit of energy?
No, Coloumb is the unit of charge. The SI unit of energy is Joule.
Why is potential difference measured in volts?
Potential difference is defined as follows: every coloumb of charge that passes through this difference will gain (or lose, depending on direction and signs) 1 joule of energy. This unit, joule/coloumb, is simply called the volt.
What is the name of the unit for Energy per Unit of Charge?
= voltage
What is the definition of electrical energy?
electrical energy - energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor;
What is the difference in potential between two charges called?
Voltage.The correct term for the amount of energy per unit of charge is potential difference.Energy = Charge * VoltageSimple rearranging gives: Voltage = Energy / ChargeTherefore a volt can be defined as a "joule per coulomb".
The metric unit for work is also called a?
Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy. The SI unit is called "Joule".Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy.
