flight. The pilot determines the minimum electrical load will be navigation lights (4 amps), in- strument lights (1.5 amps), turrn coordinator (1 amp) and one nav- com (5 amps in receive mode). The pilot can probably expect the electrical equipment to keep working until at least what time? (Show work.) 1. What is the no-load voltage of a carbon-zinc cell? A lead-acid cell?
