Question

When a car has a dead battery, it can often be started by connecting the battery from another car across its terminals. The positive terminals are connected together as are the negative terminals. The connection is illustrated in Fig. P1.15. Assume the current i in Fig. P1.15 is measured and found to be 30A. a) Which car has the dead battery? b) If this connection is maintained for 1 min, how much energy is transferred to the dead battery?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 1= 30 amp

which Car has the dead

battery ?

CarA

Car B

Ams => The Current i flows into the of the Battery of Qax A.

Posithe terminal

So. By using Passinge sign Convention.

Power P₁ = Vi = 12X 30

PA = 360 Watt (the)

=>Power is Positive So Car Ahabsorbing So now we can say car A has dead battery.

Power,

Connection is maintained for t = 1 min. Energy toonsffered to the dead battery

=> we know w(t) = Work = Emergy t S. Pdt fo W (1 = imin) = 360 dt

t = 60 sec = 1 min.

36. (t), 60

360 X60

|w[t=1mm) = 21.60 *Jure.
