c. How much potential energy does
each coulomb have as it leaves
the battery?
d. How much potential energy is Current is measured in amperes (A)
using an ammeter. If 1 ampere flows for
lost by each coulomb passing 1 second, the charge passing is 1
through lamp A? coulomb.

e. How much charge passes through A every second?

f. How much energy is radiated from A every second?
