During a defensive discharge, an electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) generates a potential difference of 640 V across its electric organs.
A charge of 2.5 × 10-3 C flows through the surrounding water.
Calculate the energy transferred to the water.
Use the equation:
energy transferred=charge flow×potential difference \text{energy transferred} = \text{charge flow} \times \text{potential difference} energy transferred=charge flow×potential difference
