Calculate the amount of work done required in moving 28×1020 electrons across two points of a wire with a potential difference of 14V.
Open in App
Solution
Given:
Potential difference, V=18V
No. of electrons, n=28×1020
Magnitude of charge on an electron, e=1.6×10−19C
So total charge that has to be moved is: Q=ne Q=28×1020×1.6×10−19C Q=448C
Work done in moving this amount of charge, W=VQ W=14V×448C W=6272J
