. Let us given a 12V, 60 Ah car battery. If the total energy of the battery reduces to 40% or less of the full charge, the battery cannot supply energy to the car, that is, the battery is discharged. The alarm system installed on the car draws a 100 mA current. How long can the car be parked before the battery is discharged?
Suppose the cost of an incandescent bulb is 28 cents and that electricity costs 10.5 cents/kWh. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), while they are more expensive, use 1/10 of the power for the same amount of illumination.
What would be the maximum cost (in dollars) of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60 W bulbs? Assume both lightbulbs run for 1000 h.
An industrial battery is charged over a period of several hours at aconstant voltage of 120 V. Initially, the current is 10 mA and increaseslinearly to 15 mA in 10 ks. From 10 ks to 20 ks, the current is constant at 15 mA. From 20 ks to 30 ks the current decreases linearly to 10 mA.At 30 ks the power is disconnected from the battery.1. a) Sketch the current from t=0 to t=30 ks.2. b) Sketch the power delivered to the battery from t=0 to t=30 ks.3. c) Using the sketch of the power, find the total energy delivered tothe battery.
