Solution

Explanation:

  1. Joule is a unit for work done.
  2. Coulomb is the unit for the charge.
  3. The ratio of work done to the charge is known as potential.
  4. Potential(V)=workdone(J)charge(C)V=JCWhereVisvolt,JisjoulesandCiscoulomb.
  5. The unit of potential is volt.
  6. Joules per coulomb is same as volt.
  7. This is because joule is the unit for work done while coulomb is the unit for the charge.

Therefore, one joule per coulomb is equal to a volt.
