The energy given to each coulomb of charge is equal to the amount of work which is done in moving it.
Now we know that,
Potential difference = Work Done/Charge

∴ Work done = Potential difference × charge
Where, Charge = 1 C and Potential difference = 6 V

∴ Work done = 6 × 1
= 6 Joule.

The resistance of a conductor depends upon the following factors:
→ Length of the conductor
→ Cross-sectional area of the conductor
→ Material of the conductor
→ Temperature of the conductor

The current will flow more easily through thick wire. It is because the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross – section. If thicker the wire, less is resistance and hence more easily the current flows.

According to Ohm’s law
V = IR
⇒ I=V/R …                   (1)
Now Potential difference is decreased to half
∴ New potential difference Vʹ=V/2
Resistance remains constant
So the new current Iʹ = Vʹ/R
= (V/2)/R
= (1/2) (V/R)
= (1/2) I = I/2

Therefore, the amount of current flowing through the electrical component is reduced by half.

The resistivity of an alloy is higher than the pure metal. Moreover, at high temperatures, the alloys do not melt readily. Hence, the coils of heating appliances such as electric toasters and electric irons are made of an alloy rather than a pure metal.
