Chapter 1, Problem 36CP
A battery can be rated in ampere-hours (Ah) or watt hours (Wh). The ampere hours can be obtained from the watt hours by dividing watt hours by a nominal voltage of 12 V. If an automobile battery is rated at 20 Ah:
- (a) What is the maximum current that can be supplied for 15 minutes?
- (b) How many days will it last if it is discharged at a rate of 2 mA?

An electric heater having power rated 1000W connected to a 240V supply for
10minutes.
a) calculate the conductance of the heater element.b) Find the nett charge flowing in the heater element.c) Calculate the no. of free electron that represent for that amount charge obtained.
Suppose the cost of an incandescent bulb is 28 cents and that electricity costs 10.5 cents/kWh. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), while they are more expensive, use 1/10 of the power for the same amount of illumination.
What would be the maximum cost (in dollars) of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60 W bulbs? Assume both lightbulbs run for 1000 h.
A no. 000 AWG wire is 100 meters long. For no. 000 wire, it has a wire resistance of 0.0618 ohms per 1000ft. Determine the power loss if the current flowing through the wire is 18 amperes.How much must you pay for the loss in the previous problem due to the voltage drop if during the whole month, you used the wire for 300 cumulative hours? Assume a rate of 5 pesos per kWh. Can you solve for it? If yes, solve the value in php. If not, type (unsolvable).
