Chapter 25, Problem 83A

To determine

To Explain:

How the connection of electric motor to the battery done by electronic circuits would slow the automobile such that the battery is charged.

Answer to Problem 83A

Due to the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy which charges the battery, the vehicle becomes slow.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The regenerating breaks slow down the moving vehicle as it converts kinetic energy into some storage from of energy, which is generally the electrical form. This is a way to recover energy from one from to another.

The motor shifts itself as a generator when the breaks are applied and the kinetic energy gets stored or is used to charge the battery. This slows down the speed of the vehicle.

Conclusion:

The conversion of energy from one from to another takes place; from kinetic to electrical energy. During this conversion the speed of the vehicle slows down.
