			==Examples==
			===Easy===
			Problem:
			A charge of <math>q = 2 \ \text{C}</math> moves between two points and loses <math>U = 10 \ \text{J}</math> of electric potential energy. What is the voltage difference between the two points?
			Solution:
			Start with the definition of voltage:
			<math>V = \frac{U}{q}</math>
			Substitute values:
			<math>V = \frac{10}{2}</math>
			<math>V = 5 \ \text{V}</math>
			Answer:
			<math>5 \ \text{V}</math>

			===Medium===
			Problem:
			A resistor with resistance <math>R = 6 \ \Omega</math> has a current of <math>I = 3 \ \text{A}</math> flowing through it.


			What is the voltage across the resistor?


			How much energy is transferred to the resistor in <math>t = 4 \ \text{s}</math>?



			Solution:
			Step 1: Find voltage using Ohm’s Law
			<math>V = IR</math>
			<math>V = (3)(6)</math>
			<math>V = 18 \ \text{V}</math>

			Step 2: Find energy transferred
			Use:
			<math>W = VIt</math>
			Substitute values:
			<math>W = (18)(3)(4)</math>
			<math>W = 216 \ \text{J}</math>

			Answer:
			Voltage: <math>18 \ \text{V}</math>
			Energy transferred: <math>216 \ \text{J}</math>
