The work done in moving a charge of 2 C between two points with potential difference of 12 V is:
A. 24 J
B. 14 J
C. 0.167 J
D. 6 J
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Work done W = charge (Q) × potential difference (V). Thus W = 2 C × 12 V = 24 J. This follows from definition of voltage: 1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb. The work done equals the change in electrical potential energy. This fundamental relationship is crucial in electricity. Memory tip: W = QV is analogous to mechanical work = force × distance. Such direct formula applications are common in competitive exams to test basic concept retention. Always verify units: coulomb × volt = joule, confirming dimensional consistency.
Explanation:
Endoscopes consist of bundles of flexible optical fibers. Light introduced at one end is trapped inside the fiber core because it repeatedly strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. This Total Internal Reflection allows light and visual images to be transmitted through complex, curving paths inside the body.
