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 batte
ry 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 . Part A For how long could this battery drive current through a long, thin wire of resistance 34 Ω ?

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:
The iron uses more current. The razor only has to run a little motor inside, but the iron has to make enough heat to heat water inside and keep the bottom plate hot.
