Problem

A dry cell in a torch delivers 180 J180\,\text{J} of electrical energy while sending 450 C450\,\text{C} of charge around the circuit. (i) Calculate the potential difference provided by the cell in volts. (ii) Write the value obtained in part (i) in base SI units. (iii) If the same cell drives a current of 0.25 A0.25\,\text{A} for 2 min2\,\text{min}, determine the additional work done in that time. Show all unit conversions clearly.
