True or false question about batteries, easy 10 points?

C batteries and AA batteries are both rated at 1.5 volts, and therefore must contain the same amount of energy.True or false question about batteries, easy 10 points?
false.True or false question about batteries, easy 10 points?
It's false. They have the same potential, but different total energy storage. The c battery is larger, so it can contain more electrons. Think of it like this. It's like having 2 buckets, a one gallon and a five gallon, hanging two feet off the ground. Drill the same size hole in the bottom of each one, and the same size stream of water will leak out, but one bucket will last longer.
I would say false. They might be able to give off the same voltage, but C batteries contain more charge, and can give off 1.5 volts for a longer period of time.
Yes, as they both carry 1.5volts worth of electricity making them the same.
i also say false
