Question:
In an electrical circuit, the unit of potential difference between the ends of a resistance is:
Show Hint
The potential difference (Voltage) across a resistor is calculated by Ohm's law: \(V = IR\), where \(I\) is the current, and \(R\) is the resistance.

The Correct Option is
C
Solution and Explanation
The unit of potential difference (also called voltage) is the
Volt
(V). The potential difference is defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge between two points. The unit of resistance is
Ohm
, and the unit of current is
Ampere
.
