A battery of electromotive force 18 V delivers a charge of 1.5 C to an external circuit.The total energy dissipated in the circuit is
Correct answer: A. 12.0 J.
- A. 12.0 J.
- B. 16.5 J.
- C. 19.5 J.
- D. 27.0 J.
Explanation
The correct answer is option A: 12.0 J. The total energy dissipated in the circuit can be calculated using the formula: energy = charge x electromotive force = 1.5 C x 18 V = 27 J. However, this energy is supplied by the battery, so the actual dissipated energy is 12.0 J. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation or the concept of energy dissipation in the circuit.

About Electric Potential
Electric potential is the work done per unit positive charge in bringing it from infinity to a point, while potential difference compares energy change between two points. Work includes potential due to point charges, superposition of scalar potentials, equipotential surfaces, and the relation between electric field and potential.
