what i dont get you imtiaz, say it again

imtiaz7 · Answer

the q is that the pd is not a work done in moving unit charge but to force any body and it covers distance so it is work then why pd not done work

imtiaz7 · Answer

@RANE  the q is also uploaded to wikianswer i dont understand it properly

rane · Answer

oh i dont trust wikiasnwers

Seems right to me. It's the potential difference which has units of Joules per Charge (volts) and if it's saying how much a unit charge goes between the point, then if you multiply the voltage times a charge of 1 coulomb then you get the amount of energy, which is work done in moving a charge from point A to B.

what you say is absolutely right ImtiazZ

Pd.. is the measure of work done per charge in moving it from one point to another
