Question

1. An ipod runs for 8 hours while drawing 0.05 amps of current, how many coulombs of charge does the ipod contain? 

 

2.  A student leaves a 5 amp stereo on in their car and drains the 10000 coulomb battery. How long did the stereo stay on for?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The current drawing by the ipod is 0.05 A and the time the device runs is 8 hours.

 

Time, t = 8 hours

            = 28800 seconds

 

Since time is given in hours, it has to be converted into seconds.
