A 12V car battery can supply 60A for 2.5s to start the starter. Calculate how much electrical energy has been used.
Added by Cassandra C.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the electrical power used by the battery to start the starter: P = V x I P = 12V x 60A P = 720W Show more…

A particular 12 $\mathrm{V}$ car battery can send a total charge of 84 $\mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{h}($ ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the other. (a) How many coulombs of charge does this represent? (Hint: See Eq. $21-3 .$ (b) If this entire charge undergoes a change in electric potential of 12 $\mathrm{V}$ , how much energy is involved?
The starter motor in a car draws $220.0 \mathrm{A}$ of current from the $12.0-\mathrm{V}$ battery for $1.20 \mathrm{s}$. (a) How much charge is pumped by the battery? (b) How much electric energy is supplied by the battery?
