The potential difference between 2 points in a current carrying conductor when 1 joule of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the other is Correct Answer 1 volt

The correct answer is 1 volt.

Key Points

  • One volt is the potential difference between two points in a current-carrying conductor when 1 joule of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the other.
  • The unit of Potential difference is Volt.
  • The potential difference is measured by an instrument called a voltmeter. 

Additional Information

  • Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
  • A force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.  
  • One Ampere represents a flow of one coulomb of electrical charge per second.
