The energy consumption for the same appliance the power consumption in watts would be the same watts = volts X amps. In general if an appliance requires 10 Amps @ 110V then it would only require 5 amps @ 220V

In general in an a North American house the appliances that run on 220V are on 220 because they would pull too much power to be logically wired on 110V. So they do pull more power than most 110V appliances.

A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?

That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".


How much energy is expended in moving a 20 coulomb charge through a potential difference of 0.5 volts?

To calculate the energy expended in moving a charge through a potential difference, you can use the formula: Energy (E) = Charge (Q) × Potential Difference (V) Given: Charge (Q) = 20 Coulombs Potential Difference (V) = 0.5 Volts Plugging in the values: E = 20 C × 0.5 V E = 10 Joules Therefore, the energy expended in moving a 20 Coulomb charge through a potential difference of 0.5 Volts is 10 Joules.


A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express the difference?

Volts. Volts is another term for potential.


What is the difference between a 60 W and a 100 W light bulb?

60 and 100 watt in series then the 60 watt will have the biggest voltagedrop.In parallel they are the same.Using a voltage of 120 volts, the 60 watt lamp would have 75 volts across it and the 100 watt lamp would have 45 volts across it in a series circuit, bringing the total to 120 volts.
