Batteries are recharged by connecting them to a power supply (i.e., another battery) of greater emf in such a way that the current flows into the positive terminal of the battery being recharged, as was shown in Example 23.1. This reverse current through the battery replenishes its chemicals. The current is kept fairly low so as not to overheat the battery being recharged by dissipating energy in its internal resistance.
a. Suppose the real battery of Figure P23.55 is rechargeable. What emf power supply should be used for a 0.75 A recharging current?
b. If this power supply charges the battery for 10 minutes, how much energy goes into the battery? How much is dissipated as thermal energy in the internal resistance?

- How can i solve this if n1 (refractive index of gas) and n2 (refractive index of plastic) is not known. And the brewsters angle isn't knownarrow_forward2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3arrow_forward
