Here's the breakdown:
* Voltage (V) is a measure of electric potential difference. It represents the work done per unit charge to move a charge between two points in an electric field.
* Joule (J) is the unit of energy.
* Coulomb (C) is the unit of electric charge.
Therefore, 1 Volt is defined as the potential difference between two points where 1 Joule of work is required to move 1 Coulomb of charge from one point to the other.
In other words:
* If you have a 1 Volt battery, it means that for every Coulomb of charge that flows through the battery, 1 Joule of energy is released.
* If you have a circuit with a 1 Volt potential difference, then 1 Joule of work is done to move 1 Coulomb of charge through the circuit.
Key takeaway: Voltage is a measure of energy per unit charge.
