  1. If three cells of 2 volt each are connected in series to make a battery, then the total potential difference between terminals of the battery will be 6V.
  1.  
  1. Given: p.d. = 2V, Charge moved = 1C
We know that

Work done = p.d × charge moved

= 2 × 1

Work done = 2 joules
  1. Given: p.d = 6V, Charge moved = 1C
Work done = p.d × charge moved

= 6 × 1

Work done = 6 joule.
