Calculate the total energy transferred?
A

Q
A
First we need to find the P.D of resistor A we can do this by doing the subtraction 30-25 which is 5V. As the P.D in a series circuit adds up.
To calculate the energy transferred by resistor A we need to multiply the charge flow (3C) by the P.D (5V) this gives us an energy transfer of 15J
