1.15 When a car has a dead battery, it can often be started
by connecting the battery from another car across
its terminals. The positive terminals are connected
together as are the negative terminals. The connec-
Si tion is illustrated in Fig. P1.15. Assume the current i
in Fig. P1.15 is measured and found to be 40 A.
a) Which car has the dead battery?
b) If this connection is maintained for 1.5 min, how
much energy is transferred to the dead battery?
