Batteries & Power Systems PES 1000 – Physics in Everyday Life

How Batteries Function + - Batteries work because they contain two separated materials that contain oppositely charged ions. Examples: Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Ion, Alkaline, Lead/Acid, etc. The separated ions have the potential to exchange charge and equalize the charge between them, but won’t until connected in a circuit. The circuit symbol reflects this separation of charge. When connected in a circuit, the electrons drift through the ionic material toward the negative terminal of the battery as they seek to pass through the circuit to the positive terminal. The drift at a slow rate so that the battery doesn’t discharge all at once. Moving charges through a potential (voltage) expends energy. So the battery eventually runs out of energy as the charges equalize. As a battery ages, its internal resistance to charge flow builds up in the ionic material, eventually counteracting the voltage available to move charge through itself. Some typical voltage sizes: Car: 12 V, Dry cell : 1.5 V, Rectangular 9V D, C, A, AA, AAA: All have the same voltage (1.5 V) but different energies.

Batteries in series & parallel Recall that gravity potential and electric potential are similar. So imagine a ski resort as an analogy. If two ski lifts run in parallel: They both raise the potential by the same amount. Each does half the work. For the battery, this means double the battery life. If two ski lifts run in series: They double the potential increase. Each does equal work. The battery has a normal lifetime. 𝑉=3𝑉 𝑉=1.5𝑉 𝑉=0𝑉 + - 𝑉=1.5𝑉 2𝑥 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 + - 𝑉=3𝑉 1𝑥 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

Direct Current (DC) Circuits + - In a DC circuit, the current runs in only one direction. This is typical for a circuit with a battery. A flashlight is a good example of a DC circuit. Another example is the electrical system of a car. The electrons deliver the energy through the circuit to the filament (resistor). There it is turned into heat and light. This is similar to the way a chainsaw works. The teeth deliver energy to the wood by their motion. They cut by moving in only one direction.

Alternating Current (AC) Circuits In an AC circuit, the current moves back and forth (usually quickly). Rotary electrical generators naturally generate alternating current. The electrons deliver energy by moving back and forth. This is similar to the way a hand-saw works. The teeth deliver energy to the wood by their motion. They cut by moving back and forth. The symbol in a circuit has a wave-shape that represents the oscillating current. Most household power is delivered via AC circuits. In the US, the oscillation frequency is 60 cycles/s, with a voltage of 120 V. In Europe, the frequency is 50 cycles/s, with a voltage of 230 V. An appliance designed for one system will fail to work in the other.

National Power Delivery Power is generated at a central location. Power is transmitted through power lines to your house. The power lines have a fixed resistance, and will dissipate energy along the way as heat. You only pay for power used at your house, not power lost along the way. How does the utility company minimize loss? They minimize current (I) by raising the voltage (V) So, they use high voltage power lines for long distances. We don’t want high voltages coming into the house. So, they use transformers, which raise voltage & lower current on one end. Then they lower voltage & raise current on the other end. Transformers only work in an AC system. 𝑃 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒 =𝐼∗𝑉 𝑃 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 =$ 𝑃 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 𝐼 2 ∗𝑅

Conclusion Batteries work by having separated charges within, and allowing them to re-unite slowly when connected in a circuit. Batteries can be connected in parallel or series. In parallel, they deliver their rated voltage, but last twice as long as one battery. In series, they deliver double their rated voltage, and have a normal battery lifetime. Current flow through a circuit is either DC or AC. In direct current (DC), the current flows in only one direction. In alternating current (AC), the current cycles forward and backward. Power delivery is usually accomplished with AC circuits. Generators and motors work most simply in AC. Resistive power losses are lowered by using high voltage, low current. Transformers to raise or lower the voltage only work in AC systems.
