-- The power being used is (voltage) x (current).

-- In order to get 100 watts out of a 12-volt battery, the battery has to

produce 81/3 Amps of current, because (12) x (81/3) = 100.

-- The battery holds enough juice so that (current) x (length of time) = 7 Amp-hour.

-- If you pull 81/3 Amps from that battery, the math says that it'll be empty

in 0.84 hour (50 minutes), because (81/3 Amps) x (0.84 hour) = 7 Amp-hour.

-- The truth is that if you discharge a battery that fast (all of its capacity in

less than 1 hour), it won't match the math. It'll begin to sag, groan, and gasp

in less time than you'd expect.

-- 0.84 hour is about 50 minutes. you should not expect 100 watts out of

this battery for much more than 35 or 40 minutes.

How long can a battery power a 44 watt light bulb?

Assuming the battery has a capacity of 4400mAh (typical for consumer-grade batteries), and the light bulb draws a continuous 44 watts, the battery would last around 1 hour before needing to be recharged. Remember that factors like battery efficiency, temperature, and age can affect this estimate.

How does a simple circuit with a battery and a light bulb work?

In a simple circuit with a battery and a light bulb, the battery provides electrical energy that flows through the wires to the light bulb. The electrical energy causes the filament in the light bulb to heat up and emit light. This process continues as long as the circuit remains closed and the battery has power.
