Electric Current

Problem 3.192

A storage battery with emf E=2.6 V\mathscr{E}=2.6 \mathrm{~V} loaded with an external resistance produces a current I=1.0I=1.0 A. In this case the potential difference between the terminals of the storage battery equals V=2.0 VV=2.0 \mathrm{~V}. Find the thermal power generated in the battery and the power developed in it by electric forces.

Reveal Answer
Q=I(EV)=0.6 W,P=IV=2.0 WQ=I(\mathscr{E}-V)=0.6 \mathrm{~W}, P=-I V=-2.0 \mathrm{~W}
