Question

The energy delivered to the resistive coil is dissipated as heat at a rate equal to the power input of the circuit. However, not all of the energy in the circuit is dissipated by the coil. Because the emf source has internal resistance, energy is also dissipated by the battery as heat. Calculate the rate of dissipation of energy Pbat in the battery.

Answer 1

P(bat) = V²r/(R+r)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the resistance of the coil be R

Internal resistance of the battery be r

Emf of the battery = V

Power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery is normally given as P = I²r

where I is the current flowing in the circuit.

From Ohm's law,

V = I R(eq)

R(eq) = (R + r)

I = V/(R+r)

P = I²r

P = [V/(R+r)]²r

P = V²r/(R+r)²

Hope this Helps!!!
