c. 0.336 C, 0.756 J
d. 0.336 C, 1.134 J

Answer 1

The total charge flow in the circuit is 0.168 C and the total energy transferred is 0.756 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total charge flow, we can use the equation charge flow = current × time. Given the current in the circuit is 0.56 A and the time is 300 seconds, the charge flow would be 0.56 A × 300 s = 168 C. Therefore, the total charge flow is 0.168 C.

To calculate the total energy transferred in 300 seconds, we can use the equation energy transferred = charge flow × potential difference. Given the charge flow is 0.168 C and the potential difference is 4.5 V, the energy transferred would be 0.168 C × 4.5 V = 0.756 J. Therefore, the total energy transferred is 0.756 J.
