gais any advice on this problem?

--A 6 V
ashlight battery will deliver 5 mA for 40 hours of usage. During that time the voltage will drop from 6 V to 5 V . The
drop in voltage is linear with time. How much energy is delivered by the battery in this
40 hour interval?

In return, you become better than everone else automatically.

5.5V*0.005A*5hours*(3600 seconds/hour) =

>>1577110
oops, that should be 40 hours.

>> No.1577119

5.5v average
5.5v x 5mA = 27.5mW
times that by number seconds to give total energy!

Winner!

Can I ask what equation is behind the energy consumption?
I assume it's average voltage * ampage* time(seconds), does this sound right?

oh wait, never mind, cheers guys!

P=VI
Pt=E
VIt=E

maybe if you bothered to learn the simple relationships between amps,voltage,resistance and time and what they each one is actually describing then you could formulate your own!

>> No.1577144

5mA*40h=0.2Ah
(6V+5V)/2=5.5V
5.5V*0.2Ah=1.1Wh

haha lets see how many diferent ways it can be done and confuse the hell out of him

Well...
integral from 0 to 40 of function
((-1/40*t+6)*0.005)
