Answer:
3000\ W,\ 78,000\ J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The voltage of the battery is
V=12\ V

Current through the battery is
I=250\ A

(a) Power is the product of voltage and current

Power dissipates is given by


P=VI\\P=12* 250\\P=3000\ W

(b) Energy delivered


E=P* t


E=3000* 26\\E=78,000\ J
