Arthur puts new batteries in his flashlight before leaving the house. Until the batteries die, it draws 0.25 A of current, allowing a total of 6,812 C of charge to. flow in the circuit. How long will Arthur be able to use the flashlight before the batteries'energy is depleted?

Respuesta :

Given,

The current, I=0.25 A

The total charge flowing in the circuit is q=6812 C.

The electric current can be defined as the time rate of flow of the charges.

Thus, the electric current is given by,

[tex]I=\frac{q}{t}[/tex]

Where t is the time duration.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.25=\frac{6812}{t} \\ t=\frac{6812}{0.25} \\ =27248\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus the batteries will fry out after 27248 s
