Volt can also be written as?
Correct answer: D. JC−1
- A. JC−2
- B. JC
- C. CN−1
- D. JC−1
Explanation
JC−1Explanation: Volt (V) is defined as the potential difference, which is work (energy) per unit charge. Therefore, V = J/C (Joules per Coulomb) or JC⁻¹.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
