The lead storage batteries "A" and "B" are connected in parallel. "A" has an open circuit voltage of 12 V and an internal resistance of 0.2 ohm. Battery "B" has an open circuit voltage of 12.2 V and an internal resistance of 0.3 ohm. If the two batteries together delivers power to a 0.5 ohm power resistor, neglecting effects of temperature, how much current is contributed by battery "A"? Please provide equations and all steps to a correct solution. Thanks.

A small transformer to recharge the battery in a cell phone is plugged into a wall socket that has 120 volts RMS and a maximum available current of 20 Amps. The secondary coil of the transformer has 14 turns, and the output voltage of the transformer is 5.5V (DC). The recharger takes 440mA out from the transformer. Assume the transformer is ‘ideal’, with and efficiency of 100 percent. What is the resistance of the battery recharger from the cell phone?...

The label on a battery-powered radio recommends the use of a rechargeable nickel-cadmium cell (nicads), although it has a 1.25-V emf, whereas an alkaline cell has a 1.58-V emf. The radio has a 3.94 Ω resistance. How much more power is delivered to the radio by alkaline cell, which has an internal resistance of 0.200Ω than by an nicad cell, having an internal resistance of 0.040Ω?

A simple circuit can be created using a voltage source of some form, let's say a battery, and a load, something that converts electrical energy into some other form of energy. An example of a load might be the thin wire filament in a light bulb, where the electrical energy is being converted into thermal energy and light energy. The resistance is a property of the load that determines how much current flows through the load. Ohm's Law relates the...
