$(a)$ Electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit carrying current is the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other.
$(b)$ Voltmeter. It is connected in parallel.
$(c)$ $I=2 A, t=1 \text { minute }=60 s, V=3 V$
$Q = I t=2 \times 60=120 C$
Therefore, $W=V Q=3 \times 120=360 J$
