Markscheme
the work done per unit charge
in moving charge from one terminal of a cell to the other / all the way round the circuit
Award [1] for “energy per unit charge provided by the cell”/“power per unit current”
Award [1] for “potential difference across the terminals of the cell when no current is flowing”
Do not accept “potential difference across terminals of cell”
[2 marks]
