Question

Consider a 24.0 V storage battery that can transfer, over the course of its useful lifetime, a total charge equivalent to 340000 C. What is the total amount of work that can be done by the battery's chemicals over the useful lifetime of the battery? Give your answer in joules.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference of battery is

V = 24V

Total charge battery can transferred

q = 340,000C

Work done by the battery?

Work done is given as

W = qV

Where q is charge in Columbs

V is potential difference in Volts

Then, W = qV

W = 340,000×24

W = 8,160,000 J

Work done by the battery over it's useful life time is 8,160,000J
