The source voltage of the cell phone battery is 5.34 V. When a current of 0.29 A is taken from the battery, the value of the terminal voltage is 5.17 V. Determine a) the internal resistance of the battery, b) the power supplied by the battery to the circuit and c) the thermal power of the battery (power of the internal resistance) .
KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.
