Final answer:

Ampere-hours correspond to charge, and multiplying ampere-hours by voltage gives watt-hours, a unit of energy. For a battery characterized as 207 Ampere-hours and 9.4 V, the total energy it can deliver is 1945.8 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ampere-hours (Ah) correspond to charge. The relationship between ampere-hours and energy content is that multiplying ampere-hours by voltage gives watt-hours, a unit of energy. To calculate the total energy that the battery can deliver, you can multiply the ampere-hours by the voltage:



Total Energy = Ampere-hours × Voltage



In this case, the battery is characterized as 207 Ampere-hours and 9.4 V, so the total energy it can deliver is:



Total Energy = 207 Ah × 9.4 V = 1945.8 J

Electric Energy = Current x Voltage x time = 207 x 9.4 = 1,945.8 J
