Answer

28800 C or 28.8 kC

Work Step by Step

The first step involves finding the current I using the equation, P=$V\times I$ Since P=18 W and V= 9 V, I is found to be 2 A Next, we find the charge through the device using the formula, Q=$I\times t$ where I= 2 A and t = 4 hours or 14400 seconds Substituting these values, Q is found to be 28800 C or 28.8 kC
