In a circuit, 10 C of charge is passed through a battery
in a given time. The plates of the battery are maintained
at a potential difference of 12 V. How much work is done
by the battery?.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By definition, the work done to transport a
charge q through a potential diference V is qV. Thus,
work done by the battery
`= 10 C xx 12 V = 120 J`
