Question
An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming that the battery delivers a steady current for its lifetime of 4.00 h, how much charge passed through the toy? (c) How much energy was delivered to the toy?

Answer:
a) The current is i = 1.2 A
b) The charge is Q = 17280 C
c) The energy is E = 43200 J
Explanation:
a) The current is given by the ohm’s law wich is:
i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A
b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:
i = Q/t
Q = t*i
Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s
Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C
c) The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:
P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W
E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J
