In order to charge a battery there must be a potential difference between the charger and the battery, i.e.a charging voltage. As a battery is being charged this potential difference reduces and since the charging current is related to this charging voltage the rate of charging also reduces.

A battery is put on charge.The relationship between the charging current,i amperes, and the time, t hours passed,is given by this formula, i=3e to the power of-0.36t (cannot type in proper inequality symbols).

Q1: Construct a table showing the current for values of time between 0 and 9 hours at intervals of 1 hour. Hence draw a graph of i against t for 0 is smaller or equal to t is smaller or equal 9 (cannot type in proper inequality symbols).

  • Desiging a battery charger



    So we have to find R1 and R2 such that Vin is 6.5volt when the voltage across the battery is 12.08V

    Before that, we have to determine the charging current required for the battery.

  • RC Circuit

    As soon as the battery is introduced in the circuit (t=0), the capacitor behaves like a short circuit and charging current flows through it.

  • Current through Capacitor Circuit

    b) Find the current in the battery long after the switch is closed. Part A Immediately after the switch is closed the capacitor will act as a short circuit (no resistance) while current is flowing through it and charging the capacitor.

  • Parallel plate capacitor: Find the energy stored

    Also, note that we take into account the charging of one plate (from 0 to Q), since the creation of -Q on the opposite plates is the result of the battery pulling "positive" charge out of the plate because by supplying positive charge to the other plate
