Question

The potential difference between nodes $A$ and $B$ in a circuit is $v_A - v_B = 5\text{ V}$. The work done in moving a charge of 1 coulomb from point $B$ to $A$ is ____ J. (answer in integer)

Calculating Work Done in a Circuit

The work done ($W$) in moving a charge ($q$) between two points with a potential difference ($\Delta V$) is given by the formula:

$W = q \times \Delta V$

In this problem:

  • The potential difference between nodes A and B is given as $\Delta V = v_A - v_B = 5\text{ V}$. This is the potential difference when moving from B to A.
  • The charge to be moved is $q = 1\text{ C}$.

Substituting these values into the formula:

$W = (1\text{ C}) \times (5\text{ V})$

$W = 5\text{ J}$

Therefore, the work done in moving a charge of 1 coulomb from point B to A is 5 Joules.
