Answer to Problem 47A

There are two ways where the battery is differentiating from the fuel cell:

1. Batteries have a charge and discharge cycle but the fuel cells produce continuously electricity, as long as their fuel is available.
2. Battery is used to stored the energy, while the fuel cell generates energy by converting available fuel
