A 100 Ah cell discharged at 0.5C passes a current of

  • A.100 A
  • B.200 A
  • C.25 A
  • D.50 A

Answer: D

Correct answer: 50 A

The C-rate multiplies the capacity in ampere hours:

\[ I = 0.5 \times 100 = 50 \ \mathrm{A} \]

and at that rate the cell would be discharged in two hours. Expressing current this way makes the limits transferable: 0.5C is a moderate rate for almost any cell, whatever its size, whereas 50 A means nothing without knowing the capacity.
