Define an electrolyte and its role in battery operation.
The role of electrolyte in a battery.
Explanation of Solution
A battery is a primary source of electrical power in an auto vehicle. It converts the chemical energy into electrical energy. A battery consists of two electrode or plates of which one is considered as a cathode and other an anode and an electrolyte solution.
An electrolyte is a chemical solution having both the cathode and anode plates submerged into it. The electrolyte in a battery reacts with the metal of the submerged plates. This chemical reaction causes a lack of electrons on a positive plate and an excess on negative. Due to which the electrons moves and the current starts flowing.

- 20. [Ans. 9; 71.8 mm] A semi-elliptical laminated spring is made of 50 mm wide and 3 mm thick plates. The length between the supports is 650 mm and the width of the band is 60 mm. The spring has two full length leaves and five graduated leaves. If the spring carries a central load of 1600 N, find: 1. Maximum stress in full length and graduated leaves for an initial condition of no stress in the leaves. 2. The maximum stress if the initial stress is provided to cause equal stress when loaded. [Ans. 590 MPa ; 390 MPa ; 450 MPa ; 54 mm] 3.

The ratio of the longer side of the wire to its shorter side is 1.5, and the ratio of mean diameter of spring to the longer side of wire is nearly equal to 6. Three such springs are required to bring to rest a carriage weighing 25 kN moving with a velocity of 75 m/min with a maximum deflection of 200 mm. Determine the sides of the rectangular section of the wire and the mean diameter of coils when the shorter side is parallel to the axis of the spring. The allowable shear stress is not to exceed 300 MPa and G = 84 kN/mm². Q6/ A belicalarrow_forward
