3.5 Flashcards
Characteristics of lead acid electrolysis
+ lead peroxide
- lead
Sulphuric acid and water = electrolyte
30% 70%
Nickel cadmium electrolysis
+ nickel oxyhydroxide
- metal cadmium
Potassium hydroxide = electrolyte
Total voltage and discharge for lead acid battery
2 V
1.83 V discharge
Voltage and discharge for a nickel cadmium battery
1.2 V
1 V
Factors of mercury oxide coil cell
Negative pole - compressed zinc powder
Positive pole- mercury oxide
Electrolyte - lime potash
Voltage for a mercury oxide coin cell
1.35 V
Characteristic of a mercury oxide coin cell
Constant internal resistant
Silver oxide coin cells
Silver oxide , lime potash and zinc
Voltage for lithium coin cells
3.5V
What are primary cells
Batteries that immediately supply a voltage and are non reversible. Can not be recharged
An example of a primary cell
Zinc carbon battery
What is a secondary cell
A rechargeable battery that is used for aircraft
What are thermocouples
Similar metals welded together to measure temperatures above 0K
They measure the exhaust gas temperature in engines
Factors of a parallel circuit
Like terminals
Current - Split
Voltage - Constant
Resistance - R= 1/Rt
Factors of a series circuit
Unlike terminals
Current: constant
Voltage: Sum
Resistance: Sum
