Chapter 21: Q14CQ (page 771)

Explain which battery is doing the charging and which is being charged in Figure 21.45.

Short Answer

Expert verified

E1is charged,E2 is doing the charging.

Step by step solution

01

How to know which battery is getting charged

When two batteries are connected then the battery with higher potential is responsible for charging another battery.

02

Obtaining which battery is getting charged by which one.

The battery E1is getting charged whereas E2is doing the charging as E2is at the higher voltage. Net effective voltage is 6 volts.

Hence, E1is charged, E2is doing the charging.

What is the emfxof a cell being measured in a potentiometer, if the standard cell’s emf is 12.0 Vand the potentiometer balances forRx=5.000Ωand Rs=2.500Ω?

An ECG monitor must have an \(RC\) time constant less than \(1.00 \times {10^2}{\rm{ }}\mu s\) to be able to measure variations in voltage over small time intervals. (a) If the resistance of the circuit (due mostly to that of the patient’s chest) is\(1.00{\rm{ }}k\Omega \), what is the maximum capacitance of the circuit? (b) Would it be difficult in practice to limit the capacitance to less than the value found in (a)?

A \(160 - \mu F\)capacitor charged to \(450\;V\)is discharged through a \(31.2 - k\Omega \)resistor. (a) Find the time constant.(b) Calculate the temperature increase of the resistor, given that its mass is \(2.50\;g\)and its specific heat is \(1.67\frac{{kJ}}{{kg{ \cdot ^\circ }C}}\), noting that most of the thermal energy is retained in the short time of the discharge. (c) Calculate the new resistance, assuming it is pure carbon. (d) Does this change in resistance seem significant?

Verify the third equation in Example 21.5 by substituting the values found for the currentsl1andl3.

(a) What resistance would you put in parallel with a \(40.00 - \Omega \) galvanometer having a \(25.0 - \mu A\) sensitivity to allow it to be used as an ammeter that has a full-scale deflection for \(10.0{\rm{ }}\mu A\) ?

(b) What is unreasonable about this result?

(c) Which assumptions are responsible?
