The amount of potential necessary to cause one coulomb to produce one joule of work is a(n) _____.

A) ampere
B) ohm
C) volt
D) watt

Potential

Refers to the potential energy per unit charge at a point in a field or circuit, often associated with voltage or electric potential difference.

Coulomb

The standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.

Joule

A unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on it in the direction of its motion through a distance of one meter.
