Answer:
Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.
1. Energy transferred = 144 Joules.
2. The unit of potential difference, volts can also be described as Joules per Coulombs.
3. Current, I = 6.945 Amperes.
Explanation:
Part A.
Given the following data;
Current, I = 1.2A
Time, t = 2 minutes
Potential difference, V = 12 volts.
To find the energy transfered;
Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference
E = Q * V
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Energy transferred = (1.2 * 2) * 12
Energy transferred = 2.4 * 12
Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.
Part B.
1. Given the following data;
Charge, Q = 24C
Potential difference = 6V
To find the energy transferred;
E = Q * V
Substituting into the equation, we have;
E = 24 * 6
E = 144 Joules.
2. Since we know that, Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference
[tex] Potential \; difference = \frac {Energy \; transferred}{Charged \; moved} [/tex]
The units of energy is Joules while the unit of the quantity of charge moved is Coulomb.
Therefore, the unit of potential difference becomes Joules per Coulomb.
3. Given the following data;
Potential difference = 18V
Energy transferred = 500J
Time, t = 4 minutes.
To find the current;
E = Q * V
Substituting into the equation, we have;
500 = Q*18
Q = 500/18
Q = 27.78C
But, Charge moved (Q) = current (I) * time (t)
Current, I = Q/t
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Current, I = 27.78/4
Current, I = 6.945 Amperes..
