Question

A 5.0 V battery storing 43.0 kJ of energy supplies 1.5 A of current to a circuit. How much energy does the battery have left after powering the circuit for 1.0 h? A. 43 kJ B. 16 kJ C. 41 kJ D. 27 kJ

Answer 1

B. 16 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy = VIt.............. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = Current, t = time

Given: V = 5.0 V, I = 1.5 A, t = 1 h = 3600 s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

E = 5.0(1.5)(3600)

E = 27000 J

E = 27 kJ.

Amount of energy left = 43 kJ - 27 kJ

Amount of energy left = 16 kJ.

Hence the right option is B. 16 kJ
