A certain type of rechargeable battery can deliver a current of 0.6A for 400s, before its voltage drops and it needs to be recharged. Calculate: a) The total charge that battery can deliver before it needs to be recharged. b) The maximum time the battery could be used for without being recharged if the current through it were 0.7A. State your answer corrects to 2 decimal places.
