One joule can also be defined as: ▪ The work required to move an electric charge of one coulomb through an electrical potential difference of one volt, or one '"coulomb volt". This relationship can be used to define the volt. ▪ The work required to produce one watt of power for one second, or one "watt second" . This relationship can be used to define the watt.
