An automotive battery has a capacity of 60Ah and a nominal voltage of 12V. a. Calculate the energy stored in the battery (Wh and Joules) assuming a nominal 12V. Hint: remember that Watts is Volts* Amps. b. While the battery is a nominal 12V, in reality, it goes from 12.6 to 11.9V as the battery is discharged and all of the energy is removed. What size capacitor (Farads) is required to equal the battery's energy capacity assuming the capacitor also operates between 12.6V and 11.9V? Hint: Use the energy in Joules for part a; this is the energy delta between the two capacitor voltages. An automotive battery has a capacity of 60Ah and a nominal voltage of 12V. a.
