Car batteries are typically rated in ampere-hours, or A · h.
(a) Show that ampere-hours are actually a unit of charge.

Determine the conversion from ampere-hours to coulombs.
1 A · h = ________ C

(b) If a 114 A · h battery can deliver a steady current of 4.5 Auntil it is completely depleted, what is the total time the batterycan deliver current without being recharged?
________ h

(c) How much total charge will the battery deliver in thistime?
_______ C

Car batteries are rated by the following two numbers:

i. Cranking amps = current the battery can produce for 30.0 seconds while maintaining a terminal voltage of at least 7.2V

ii. Reserve capacity = number of minutes the battery can produce a 25A current while maintaining a terminal voltage of at least 10.5V.

One particular battery is advertised as having 905 cranking amps and a 155-minute reserve capacity.

a.) How much power is provided by the battery in these two modes (calculate two answers, one for each model)?

b.) How much energy is delivered in each case?
