A \(5.0\) A current is setup in an external circuit by a \(6.0 \mathrm{~V}\) storage battery for \(6.0 \mathrm{~min}\). The chemical energy of the battery is reduced by

  1. A \(1.08 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(1.08 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(1.8 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(1.8 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.08 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(I=5 \mathrm{~A}, V=6 \mathrm{~V}, t=6 \mathrm{~min}=6 \times 60=360 \mathrm{~s}\) Heat produced in a circuit =Chemical energy reduced in the battery \(\Rightarrow\)…
