Making Batteries
There is nothing special about batteries – but these have a high internal resistance.
Rl
What do you think the best way to minimise the internal resistance of your battery?Think about resistivity (lemon is a poor conductor)

Batteries
What is the main energy transfer in a battery?
Electrical energy
This is powered by two 1.5 V AA cells in series - what is the supply voltage?
What is the emf of the supply?
After a while the battery needs to be replaced; why?
What determines how quickly it runs down?
What determines how much current is drawn from the supply?

EMF Electromotive Force
• EMF is the external work expended per unit of charge to produce an electric potential
difference across two open-circuited terminals
This is the same definition as voltage but on an open circuit (no current flow)
Why is this definition important?
![Page 7: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Batteries have internal resistance
The circuit now has two resistors in
The internal resistance of the battery, r is very small.
R is much larger
The total resistance of this circuit is Rtotal = R +r
I = E / (R+r)
![Page 8: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Batteries have internal resistance
As charge goes around the circuit the sum of emfs must equal the sum of voltage drops leading to
EMF = I R + I r
The terminal voltage is equal to I R so this can be rearranged to give:
V = E – I r
and interpreted as terminal voltage = emf – ‘lost volts’
![Page 9: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
R -small
Rtotal = r + R -small
The current will now be larger as the total resistance of the circuit is much lower
The voltage lost across r
V = I(large)r
The voltage lost will now be a problem
This case is of a small load resistance connected to a battery is seen in a starter motor on a car

Starter motor on a conventional carThe headlamps are connected in parallel across a twelve-volt battery.
The starter motor is also in parallel controlled by the ignition switch.
Since the starter motor has a very low resistance it demands a very high current (say 60 A).
The battery itself has a low internal resistance (say 0.01 Ω).
The headlamps themselves draw a much lower current (they have a higher resistance)

V = E – I r V = IRE = I(R +r)
You need to set up a simultaneous equation

Answers1. (a) pd = E – I r = 9 – (50 x 10-3 x 12) = 8.4 V (b) Max current = E/r = 9 / 12 = 0.75 A
2. E = I(R +r)E = 25 x 10-3 (400 + r) and E = 60 x 10-3 (100 +
r)So25 x 10-3 (400 + r) = 60 x 10-3 (100 + r) so r =
114.3 E = 10 + (25 x 10-3 x 114.3) = 12.86 V

Voltage
what the average value of an ac voltage or current is over a whole number of cycles?
power is calculated by P = IV, both I and V change sign together, so power is always positive
![Page 16: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Positive power

0V
P = I p Vp
Average power = ½ I p Vp
P = 1/2 I pV p = 1/2 I p 2 R = 1/2 V p 2 / R (using V = I R)
![Page 17: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RMS voltage (root mean squared)RMS links the dc equivalent values to ac peak values.
The point is that a sinusoidal ac supply of peak value Vp delivers the same average power as steady dc of value Vp / √2
The same power would be delivered by a dc with values I and V if: P = I2R= 1/2 I p 2 R and P = V 2 / R = 1/2 Vp 2 / R I2R= 1/2 I p 2 R (divide both sides by R) V 2 / R = 1/2 Vp 2 / R
(multiply by R)These lead to the equations: I2 = I p 2 / 2 V 2 = V p 2 / 2
(square root)I = Ip / √2 V = Vp / √2

Questions1. The mains ac supply in some countries is 110 V r.m.s at 50 Hz (sinusoidal).(a) What is the peak value of voltage?(b) What is the peak-to-peak value of voltage?(c) How long does one cycle of this ac supply last?(d) A 100 W lamp is designed for use with 110 V ac What is the resistance of its filament? (use r.m.s. value for V)
2. Which will light a lamp more brightly, 12 V peak ac or 12 V steady dc? Explain.
3.UK mains ac has an r.m.s. value of 230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. Sketch a graph of voltage against time for one cycle of this ac and include values for peak voltage and time period on the axes.
4. What is the ratio of powers delivered by 20 V dc and 20 V peak ac to the same load?
Vp =r.m.s x √ 2 Wavelength = 1 / frequency
![Page 20: Internal Resistance, EMF and Oscilloscopes.ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/558ea8e71a28abe9118b4736/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Answers and Worked Solutions1. (a) 110 x √ 2 = 155.6 V (b) 2 x 155.6 = 311 V (c) 1 / 50 Hz = 0.02s (d) P = V2 /R R = 12100/100 = 121
2. 12 V peak ac is equivalent to 12/√ 2 V = 8.5 V dc equivalent. So 12 V peak to peak is dimmer.
3. 230 x √ 2 V = 325V, so graph varies between + 325 V and -325 V.
One time period = 1 / 50 Hz = 0.02s
4. P = V2 /R so the ratio of powers is ratio of voltages squared. 20 V peak ac is equivalent to 20/ √ 2 V dc i.e. 14.14 V so dc power / ac power = 202 /14.142 = 2
or dc V2 / (ac peak / √ 2)2 = (√ 2)2 =2
