Answer:
The electric charge, q (in coulomb units) = 5004 C
Given:
The charge stored as printed on NiMH battery, q = 1390 mAh
Solution:
To express the amount of electric charge printed on the battery in milli-ampere-hour (mAh) in coulomb, we will do simple conversion of milli amperes in ampere and hours in seconds:
1 mA = [tex]1\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
1 hour = [tex]60\times 60 = 3600 s[/tex]
Also, we know that the rate of flow of charge is electric current, I:
I = [tex]\frac{q}{t}[/tex]
⇒ q = [tex]I\times t[tex] (1)
where
q = electric charge
I = current
t = time taken for flow of current
Using eqn(1), we get:
q = [tex]1390\times 10^{-3}\times 60\times 60[tex]
q = 5004 A-s = 5004 C
