Question

A 4.9 A current is set up in a circuit for 4.7 min by a rechargeable battery with a 12 V emf. By how much is the chemical energy of the battery reduced

Answer 1

E = 16581.6 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 4.9 A

Time for which the current is set up, I = 4.7 min = 282 s

The voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

We need to find how much chemical energy of the battery reduced. Let It is E. We know that,

E = P t

Where

P is power of battery, P = VI

So,

`E=VIt`

Put all the values,

`E=12* 4.9* 282\\E=16581.6\ J`

So, 16581.6 J of chemical energy of the battery is reduced.
