The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce 3.00×104J of electrical energy, enough for 5.00 h of operation, before needing to be recharged.Find the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on.

Answer :

Answer:

Current, I = 0.45 A

Explanation:

Voltage of the battery for a certain cell phone, V = 3.7 A

Electrical energy produced by the cell phone, [tex]E=3\times 10^4\ J[/tex]

Time, t = 5 hours = 18000 seconds

The electrical power is given by the electrical energy produced per unit time as :

[tex]P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{3\times 10^4}{18000}\\\\P=1.67\ W[/tex]

No using the formula of power as :

[tex]P=V\times I[/tex]

I is current

[tex]I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1.67}{3.7}\\\\I=0.45\ A[/tex]

So, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.45 A.
