Unit #0-09

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• understand what 1 Volt is

Review

• the newton is :

  • • 1 N = 1 kg ⋅ 1 m/s²

• • OR -> a 100 g object exerts almost 1 N 

    • because a or acceleration due to gravity because of the earth is 9.8 m/s²

    • 0.100 x 9.8 ≃ 1.0 

• the Joule is:

  • • J  = N  ⋅  m

    • 1 Newton of force being exerted over 1 meter

Lesson

• watch video, "Voltage"

  • go over definition of Volt

  • the Volt is:

    • V  = J /  C

    • 1 Volt is 1 Joule of energy per Coulomb of charge

• so 1 V is if you move 1 C of charge from one location to another and it takes 1 J of energy to move it
