Surfing For Physics Formulas For Power?

Thomas asks…Can someone help me with this physics question?A standard flashlight has two 1.5-V D batteries arranged so that their voltages add together, with 2-W bulb. These batteries are rated at 3.5 amp-hours each (3.5 is the current).

a. What is the total power that can be expended by the batteries?
Use (Power=Current x Voltage).
b. What is the total energy stored in the flashlight batteries?
c. How long can the flashlight keep the bulb lit at its rated power of
2 W?

I think that for
