A battery-powered global positioning system (GPS) receiver operating 9.0 V on draws a current of 0.13 A. How much electrical energy does it consume during 30 minutes?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric energy consumed by GPS in 30 min is 2100 J.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of electric current.

The passage of an electric charge is referred to as an electric current. This charge is frequently carried by moving electrons in a wire, but it can also be carried by ions or both electrons and ions, as in an ionized gas.

02

Determination of the electrical energy does GPS consume during minutes

The electric energy consumed by GPS is given by,

E=Pt=l.Vt

Here, I is the current drawn by GPS, V is the potential of the battery and t is the time taken.

Substitute all the values in the above,

E=(9.0V×0.13AS)(30m)60sm=2100J

Thus, the electric energy consumed by GPS in 30 min is 2100 J.

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.
