A 60-cm-long heating wire is connected to a 120 v outlet. the wire the total charge a household battery can supply is given in units of ma⋅h. for example, a 9.0 v alkaline battery is rated 450 ma⋅h, meaning that such a battery could supply a 1 ma current for 450 h, a 2 ma current for 225 h, etc.e dissipates 45 w.

Complete part of Question:

How much energy in Joules is this battery capable of supplying?

Answer:

Energy = 14,580 J

Explanation:

NOTE: The question later focuses on the energy the battery can supply and not the 120 V outlet.

The energy the battery is capable of supplying is given by the equation:

Energy, E = IVt

The voltage of the battery, V = 9.0 V

The battery is rated 450 mAh = 0.45 Ah

That is, It = 0.45 Ah = 0.45*3600 = 1620 A-sec

Q = It = 1620 As

Energy = 1620 * 9

E = 14,580 J

How much energy, in joules, is this battery capable of supplying?

Answer:

The amount of energy the battery is capable of supplying is [tex]E= 14580 J[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The 9.0V battery is rated 450 [tex]{\rm mA} \cdot {\rm hr}.[/tex]

   Generally Power is mathematically represented as

                            [tex]Power = \frac{Energy}{time }[/tex]

                             [tex]P = \frac{E}{t}[/tex]

Making E the subject of the formula

                       [tex]E = P* t[/tex]

   Power can also be represented mathematically as

                   [tex]P = I * V[/tex]

Where I is current and V is voltage

             Therefore the formula for energy would be

                       [tex]E = I * V * t[/tex]

 From the question we are told that

       Substituting 1 mA = [tex]1*10^{-3} A[/tex]  for I

                             9 volt for V

                             450 hr = [tex]450 *3600 sec = 1620000 \ sec[/tex] for t

                              [tex]E = 1 *10^{-3} * 9 * 1620000[/tex]

                                 [tex]E= 14580 J[/tex]
