Combo Circuits & EMF
2
How much current flows from the battery in the circuit below? 12V 400 500 700
3
EMF Any device (battery) that transforms one type of energy into electric energy is called a source of electromotive force (emf) The potential difference between two terminals when no current is flowing is called the emf ( )_ When current flows the voltage across the terminal drops because charge must actually flow within the source and there is some internal resistance (r) in the source
4
The terminal voltage (V ab ) of the source is thus the emf of the source minus the voltage lost to internal resistance V ab = - Ir This is the voltage actually delivered by the source Battery ab
5
What voltage is actually delivered by a 12V battery (with internal resistance of.1 ) when a 10 A current flows? In new batteries the r is usually very low, but as the battery ages, the internal resistance increases so it delivers a lower and lower voltage
6
For the circuit below with a 9.0V battery (internal resistance.50 ) A) How much current is drawn from the battery? B) What is the terminal voltage of the battery? 9V 11 55 33 22
