Question

Car batteries are often rated in "ampere-hours" or A-h.

 

(a) Show that A-h has units of “charge” (like coulombs).

Also show that the value of 1 A-h is 3600 C.

(b) A fully charged, heavy-duty battery is rated at 100 A-h and can deliver a current of 5.0 A steadily until depleted.

What is the maximum time this battery can deliver current, assuming it isn't being recharged?

(c) How much charge will the battery deliver in this time?
