Question
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?
Step 1
This can be written as: \[Q = I \times t\] Given that the current is 220 A and the time is 1.20 s, we can substitute these values into the equation to find the charge. Show more…

The starter motor in a car draws $220.0 \mathrm{~A}$ of current from the 12.0-V battery for $1.20$ s. (a) How much charge is pumped by the battery? (b) How much electrical energy is supplied by the battery?
A 12 -V automobile battery is connected to an electric starter motor. The current through the motor is $210 \mathrm{A}$ a. How many joules of energy does the battery deliver to the motor each second? b. What power, in watts, does the motor use?

Using Electric Energy
The current through the starter motor of a car is $210 \mathrm{A}$. If the battery maintains $12 \mathrm{V}$ across the motor, how much electric energy is delivered to the starter in $10.0 \mathrm{s} ?$
