Answer:

0.06925 A

18000 J

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 3.8 V

P = Power = 1 W

t = Time = 5 hours

Power is given by

[tex]P=V^2I\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{P}{V^2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{3.8^2}\\\Rightarrow I=0.06925\ A[/tex]

The average current the phone draws from its battery is 0.06925 A

Energy is given

[tex]E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=1\times 5\times 3600\\\Rightarrow E=18000\ J[/tex]

The energy stored in a fully charged battery is 18000 J
