Lesson 4: Battery Flashcards
This converts chemical energy to electrical energy where if ther is no conversion of energy, there is no electrical load.
Battery
E stands for?
Electromotive force
r stands for?
Internal resistance
What is the electromotive force (E) of the circuit if there is no load condition?
It is equal to the terminatal voltage.
Battery can be both?
A source and a load
Battery as a source means that?
The battery is discharging
Recharging battery means that?
The battery acts as a load
What is the amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field?
Potential Difference
In a Discharging Battery, how do we correct the sign convention of the assumed current direction?
Negate the answer as negating means opposing the direction of the potential difference
In a Discharging Battery, where is the direction of the current coming from?
From the EMF going to the load
In a Recharging Battery, where is the direction of the current coming from?
From the source going to the EMF
This is the miniature battery where it fills up the battery.
Cells
What do cells in series do?
Supply a load of higher voltage rating
How to solve for the total EMF with the same direction?
Add all individual emf
How to solve for the total EMF with one cell in a different direction?
Subtract it to other emf
