Define Electric Work

AnswerElectric work may be defined as the work that is done on a charged particle by the action of an electric field. 

The amount of labor necessary to shift an electric charge equal to one coulomb via an electrical potential difference equal to one volt is denoted by the unit of measure one coulomb-volt (C-V). Utilizing this connection allows one to define what a volt is.
