Question 15

A miniature, solar-powered environmental sensor runs continuously in the dark on a backup supercapacitor. The circuit operates at a constant potential difference of 2.5 V and draws an average current of 120 μA120\text{ }\mu\text{A}120 μA.

What is the electrical energy transfer to the sensor circuit during an 18-hour18\text{-hour}18-hour period of darkness?
