A battery with a $12 \mathrm{~V}$ emf has an initial charge of $80 \mathrm{~A} . h$. If the potential across the terminals stays constant until battery is completely discharged, then this battery can deliver energy at the rate of $120 \mathrm{~W}$ for a time
  1. $16 \mathrm{~h}$
  2. $8 \mathrm{~h}$
  3. $4 \mathrm{~h}$
  4. $5 \mathrm{~h}$

Solution

We have, $\begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{U} & =\mathrm{P} \Delta \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{q} \varepsilon \\ \Delta \mathrm{t} & =\frac{\mathrm{q} \varepsilon}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{(80 \mathrm{~A} . \mathrm{h}) \times(12 \mathrm{~V})}{120 \mathrm{~W}}=8 \mathrm{~h}\end{aligned}$
