The total charge a battery can supply is rated in mA⋅h , the product of the current (in mA ) and the time (in h ) that the battery can provide this current. A battery rated at 1000 mA⋅hr can supply a current of 1000 mA for 1.0 h , 500 mA current for 2.0 h , and so on. A typical AA rechargeable battery has a voltage of 1.2 V and a rating of 1800 mA⋅h .

Answer: 0.2  hours

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to considerer that a recargeable battery can supply 1800 mA  in one hour then we have to determine how long could this battery drive current through a long, thin wire of resistance 34 Ω .

Besides, this battery has a voltage of 12 V

so by using the Ohm law we also know that V=R*I,

Fron this we can obtain:

I= V/R= 12 V/ 34 Ω=0.35 A= 350 mA

then considering that this battery can supply 1800 mA in one hour we have this battery can supply 350 mA  in x time in the form:

1hour------- 1800 mA

x hour--------350 mA

time= 350/1800= 0.2 hour

The current flowing through the wire depends on the voltage across the wire and its resistance.

The current flowing through the wire is for 0.019 hrs.

What is current?

Current is the flow of electrical charge carriers that is defined as the number of electrical charge moving per second.

Part A

Given that voltage across the battery is 1.2 V and the resistance of the thin wire is 34 ohms.

The current flowing through the wire per second is given as,

[tex]I = \dfrac {V}{R}[/tex]

[tex]I = \dfrac {1.2}{34}[/tex]

[tex]I = 0.03529\;\rm A[/tex]

[tex]I = 35.29 \;\rm mA[/tex]

Given that the total current flowing through the wire in one hour is 1800 mA. Then 35.29 mA current flowing through the wire in the time given as,

[tex]1800\;\rm mA = 1\;hr[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t = \dfrac {1}{1800\;\rm m}\times 35.29\;\rm m[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t = 0.019\;\rm hr[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the current flowing through the wire for 0.019 hrs.
