    A.) 3600 joules

    Explanation:

    Energy or work is power x time. Power is voltage x current. So, work is the product of voltage, current, and time. But time must be measured in seconds. So. the energy is (120) (0.5) (60) = 3600 joules

    Power = (voltage) x (current)

    Power = (120 V) x (0.5 Amp)

    Power = 60 watts

    Energy = (power) x (time)

    Energy = (60 watts) x (60 seconds)

    Energy = 3,600 watt-seconds

    Energy = 3,600 Joules
