Question

1. (a) The battery on your car has a rating stated in ampere-minutes which permits you to

estimate the length of time a fully charged battery could deliver any particular current
before discharge. Approximately how much energy is stored by a 50 ampere-minute 12
volt battery?

Answer 1

Energy is stored by a 50 ampere-minute 12

volt battery is approximately = 36,000 J = 36 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Power in electrical circuits is given as

Power = IV

But power generally is defined as energy expended per unit time

Power = (Energy/time)

Energy = Power × Time

Energy = IV × Time

Energy = (I.t × V)

I.t = 50 Ampere-minute = 50 × 60 = 3000 Ampere-seconds

V = 12 V

Energy = 3,000 × 12 = 36,000 J = 36 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!
