Concept explainers
Batteries (e.g., lead-acid batteries) store chemical energy and convert it to electric energy on demand.Batteries do not store electric charge or charge carriers.Charge carriers (electrons) enter one terminal of the battery, acquire electrical potential energy, and exitfrom the other terminal at a lower voltage. Rememberthe electron has a negative charge! It is convenient 10think of positive carriers flowing in the oppositedirection, that is, conventional current, and exiting at ahigher voltage. (Benjamin Franklin caused this mess!)For a battery rated at 12 V and 350 A-h, determine:
a. The rated chemical energy stored in the battery.
b. The total charge that can be supplied at the ratedvoltage.

- Note that the charge Q all came from the power supply through the resistor ) During the chargingthe power delivered by the supply is P = IV The energy delivered by the supply is powerxtime, or since lis varying during charging E=V int I dt=VQ since I is just charge per time. Compute the energy E = VQ delivered by the supply and compare with the energy of the fully-charged capacitorWhat happened to the rest of the energy? %3D Transient RC response. Consider the following circuit with R-1 k2, C=0.1 µF and V-10 Volts. Initially the capacitor is discharged (Vc-0) and the switch is open as shown, so no current flows. At time t-0 the switch is closed, allowing current to flow through the resistor and charge up the capacitor.
