Exercise from the chapter "Real generators & loads"

Voltage needed to recharge an accumulator

Level 2 of 5 · Skills: Calculate

Statement

An accumulator cell at the end of discharge has e = 1.2 V and r = 0.1 Ω. What voltage must be applied across it to recharge it with 8 A?

E′ = 1.2 V · r′ = 0.1 Ω · I = 8 A

Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.

Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.

1 hint from Bastaya available in the lab
Solution

Load: U′ = E′ + r′ · I = 1.2 + 0.1 × 8 = 2 V; check: I = (U′ − E′) / r′.

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / −, two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
