Enter the charge and potential difference into the calculator to determine the energy in Joules. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
Coulombs To Joules Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the energy in Joules from charge in Coulombs.
E = Q * V
Variables:
- E is the energy in Joules (J)
- Q is the charge in Coulombs (C)
- V is the potential difference in Volts (V)
To calculate the energy in Joules, multiply the charge in Coulombs by the potential difference in Volts. This is because one Joule is equivalent to one Coulomb-Volt. This conversion is fundamental in the study of electricity and electronics.
What is Coulombs To Joules?
Coulombs to Joules is a conversion relating to the units of electrical charge (Coulombs) to energy (Joules). This conversion is typically used in the context of electrical circuits or systems, where the energy of a system (in Joules) is calculated by multiplying the charge (in Coulombs) by the potential difference (in Volts). Therefore, one Joule is equivalent to one Coulomb-Volt. This conversion is fundamental in the study of electricity and electronics.
How to Calculate Coulombs To Joules?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Coulombs To Joules using the formula E = Q * V.
- First, determine the charge in Coulombs (Q).
- Next, determine the potential difference in Volts (V).
- Next, gather the formula from above = E = Q * V.
- Finally, calculate the energy in Joules (E).
