The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the charge (Q) using the relationship between work done (W), potential difference (V), and charge (Q). The formula that relates these quantities is: \[ V = \frac{W}{Q} \] Where: - \( V \) is the potential difference in volts (V) - \( W \) is the work done in joules (J) - \( Q \) is the charge in coulombs (C) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Work done (W) = 20 J - Potential difference (V) = 10 V 2. **Rearrange the Formula**: - We need to find the charge (Q). Rearranging the formula gives us: \[ Q = \frac{W}{V} \] 3. **Substitute the Given Values**: - Now, substitute the values of W and V into the rearranged formula: \[ Q = \frac{20 \text{ J}}{10 \text{ V}} \] 4. **Calculate the Charge**: - Perform the division: \[ Q = 2 \text{ C} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The charge is 2 coulombs. ### Final Answer: The charge is **2 C** (coulombs).
