An electric car has a battery that can hold 16 kwh of energy. if the battery is designed to operate at 340 v, how many coulombs of charge would need to leave the battery at 340 v and return at 0 v to equal the stored energy of the battery? assume that the voltages are constant.

Respuesta :

charge needed= 169412 C

Explanation:

energy stored in the battery= 16 KWh= 16 (1000 W)(3600 s)= 5.76 x 10⁷ J

Energy stored is given by U= q V

q= charge

V= voltage= 340 V

so 5.76 x 10⁷ = q (340)

q= 169412 C
