A 9.0 V battery supplies a 1.5 mA current to a circuit for 5.0 h. (a) How much charge has been transferred from the negative to the positive terminal? (b) How much electric potential energy has been gained by the charges that passed through the battery?
Added by Magdalena P.
Step 1
We can use the formula: Charge (Q) = Current (I) × Time (t) where Q is the charge in coulombs, I is the current in amperes, and t is the time in seconds. We are given the current in milliamperes and the time in hours, so we need to convert them to amperes and Show more…
