The diagram shows a domestic lighting circuit.

The circuit is connected to the mains supply. Mains voltage is 230 V .
State what is meant by the term voltage.
energy (transferred) per unit charge (passed);
allow V=E / Q only if all terms
defined
allow work done for energy
transferred
allow coulomb for unit charge
