Answer : Power = 900 watts

Explanation :

It is given that,

A car battery can deliver up to 75 amps of current at a voltage of 12 volts. The power delivered is given by the following relation :


P=VI

or


P=I^2R

or


P=(V^2)/(R)

In this case, we use relation (1)


P=12\ V* 75\ A


P=900\ W

The correct option is (A) " 900 Watts ".

Hence, this is the required solution.
