Exercise from the chapter "Real generators & loads"
Level 3 of 5 · Skills: Calculate
A battery has an EMF E = 24 V and an internal resistance r = 0.5 Ω. It delivers 5 A. What is its terminal voltage?
E = 24 V · r = 0.5 Ω · I = 5 A
Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.
Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.
U = E − r·I = 24 − 0.5 × 5 = 21.5 V.
