Given that 12.0 volts is the change in potential energy per Coulomb going from one terminal of the battery to the other, how much work does it take to move one electron between those terminals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[12\times1.6\times10^{-19} \] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the formula?? plzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=W/Q in this case for every 1 coulomb, the change in potential energy is 12v. So by ratio, one electron which is \[1.6\times10^{-19} \] coulomb multiply by 12volts which gives \[1.92\times10^{-18} Joules\] Is the answer correct ? I might be wrong

correction, change in potential energy GIVES 12v
