Give a single word for $\frac{1 \text{ joule}}{1 \text{ coulomb}}$.
(A) The potential difference between two points is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another. The $SI$ unit of potential difference is the volt $(V)$,where $1 \text{ volt} = \frac{1 \text{ joule}}{1 \text{ coulomb}}$. Therefore,the single word for $\frac{1 \text{ joule}}{1 \text{ coulomb}}$ is $1 \text{ volt}$.
