Chapter 18, Problem 56GP

To determine

Total coulombs in $1.00A\cdot h$ .

Answer to Problem 56GP

  $3600C$

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Current: $1.00A\cdot h$

Formula used:

Relationship between charge $Q$ , current $I$ , and time $t$ :

  $Q=It$

Calculation:

It is known that current is defined as charge $Q$ passing any point over a time $t$ .

Now, convert hours to second by using conversion factors and also, $1A=1C/s$ . So,

  $Q=\left(1.00A\cdot hour\right)\frac{\left(60\min \right)}{\left(1hour\right)}\frac{\left(60s\right)}{\left(1\min \right)}=3600C$

Conclusion: Total coulombs in $1.00Ah$ is $3600C$ .
