$500J$ of work is done to carry $x$ coulomb of charge between two points in $1$ second, having a potential difference of $100V$. Find the value of $x$.

Given:

Potential difference, $V$ = $100\ V$             

Work done, $W$ = $500\ J$

To find: Amount of charge, $x$.    

Solution:

We know that, 

$W=V\times {Q}$

where, W = work done, and Q = Charge

Substituting the given value, we get-

$500=100\times {x}$ [x is the amount of charge flowing between two points at potential difference V = 100]        

$x=\frac {500}{100}$

$x=5C$

Hence, 5 coulombs of charge are flowing between two points in 1 second having a potential difference of 100 V.
