Concept explainers
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric car powered by a 107-hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery that stores 24 kWh and produces 394 V at its terminals when fully charged. The Leaf’s battery can charge at the rate of 3.3 kW from a standard 120-V power outlet, at 6.6 kW from a 240-V outlet, and at 44 kW using a special 480-V charger. The Leaf’s fuel economy is 3.38 miles per kWh, the equivalent of 114 miles per gallon in a gasoline-powered car. Find (a) the range of the Leaf, assuming the battery can be fully depleted, (b) the charging time for each mode, and (c) the current delivered by the fully charged battery when the motor is operating at full power.

- A 19 Ω resistor is connected to a battery. The figure below shows the increase of thermal energy Eth,s = 2.5 mJ with ts=4.0 s. What is the electric potential (V) across the battery? Hint: Calculate power using the graph and then use P=V2/R. Note the units in the graph.arrow_forwardA standard flashlight battery can deliver about 2.0 Wh of energy before it runs down. (a) If a battery costs US$0.80, what is the cost of operating a 100 W lamp for 8.0 h using batteries? (b)What is the cost if energy is provided at the rate of US$0.06 per kilowatt-hour?arrow_forwardA compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) uses less energy than its equivalent incandescent bulb. How much will a person save if he/she uses a 20 W CFL instead of a 100 W incandescent lamp for 6 hours in 30 days? Electricity is priced at P8.17 kW/h.arrow_forward
