Volts to Joules conversion

Volts to Joules calculation formula

The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the voltage V in volts (V) times the electrical charge Q in coulombs (C):

E_(J) = V_(V) * Q_(C)

NOTE:

It is possible to calculate joules from volts and coulombs, but you cannot convert volts to joules since volt and joule units represent different quantities.

Joules = Volts / Coulombs

or

J = V / C

Example

Find the energy in joules that is consumed in an electrical circuit with a voltage supply of 15V and a charge flow of 4 coulombs.

E = 15V * 4C = 60J
