A representative lightning strike is caused by a voltage of 170,000,000 V and consists of a current of 12,000 A that flows for a fraction of a second. Calculate the power.
What explains the difference in energy delivery when the rate of discharge changes in a battery? For example, a lithium coin battery has a rated capacity of 240 mAh and a voltage cutoff of 1.6V. If we compare two rate of dischange, 3 mA vs. 0.5 mA, the difference in energy delivery is 0.1Wh.
A 1500 W cooling device must operate at a voltage of 120 V.
a) What is the current flowing in this device?
b) How resistant is the device?
c) How much energy in kilojoules does the device produce in one 0.5 hour?
