Answer:
E = 16581.6 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Current, I = 4.9 A
Time for which the current is set up, I = 4.7 min = 282 s
The voltage of the battery, V = 12 V
We need to find how much chemical energy of the battery reduced. Let It is E. We know that,
E = P t
Where
P is power of battery, P = VI
So,
[tex]E=VIt[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]E=12\times 4.9\times 282\\E=16581.6\ J[/tex]
So, 16581.6 J of chemical energy of the battery is reduced.
