The battery of a mobile phone is rated as 4.2mathrm~V, 5800mathrm~mAh. How much energy is stored in it when fully charged?

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula E = V cdot Q Q = I cdot t ### Core Logic The capacity rating 5800mathrm~mAh represents total electric charge Q stored: Q = 5800mathrm~mA times 1mathrm~hour = (5800 times 10^-3mathrm~A) times 3600mathrm~s = 20880mathrm~C Given the voltage is V = 4.2mathrm~V, the energy stored in Joules is: E = V cdot Q = 4.2 times 20880 = 87696mathrm~J = 87.696mathrm~kJ approx 87.7mathrm~kJ ### Step 1: Final Conclusion The electrical energy stored in the fully charged battery is 87.7mathrm~kJ. ### Pattern Recognition Always remember: textEnergy (in Joules) = textVoltage (V) times textCapacity (Ah) times 3600. This directly transforms electrical rating units to standard SI energy units. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Current Electricity

Numerical Answer. Answer: 22 to 22

Solution

### Related Formula Relationship between charge and time-varying current: I = fracdqdt implies q = int_t_1^t_2 I \, dt ### Core Logic Set up the definite integral using the given bounds t=1mathrm~s to t=2mathrm~s: q = int_1^2 (3t^2 + 4t^3) \, dt Perform integration term-by-term: q = left[ frac3t^33 + frac4t^44 right]_1^2 = left[ t^3 + t^4 right]_1^2 ### Step 1: Evaluate Definite Bounds Substitute upper and lower limits: q = (2^3 + 2^4) - (1^3 + 1^4) q = (8 + 16) - (1 + 1) = 24 - 2 = 22mathrm~C ### Pattern Recognition Simple polynomial integration.

### Related Formula For parallel resistors: R_textparallel = fracR_a R_bR_a + R_b Total equivalent resistance in series: R_texteq = R_1 + R_textparallel + R_4 Total current from source: I = fracVR_texteq ### Core Logic Analyzing the circuit network: * R_1 = 2\ Omega * R_2 = 4\ Omega and R_3 = 4\ Omega are in parallel. * R_4 = 1\ Omega Calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel combination: R_textparallel = fracR_2 times R_3R_2 + R_3 = frac4 times 44 + 4 = 2\ Omega ### Step 1: Calculate Total Equivalent Resistance and Current Total equivalent resistance is: R_texteq = R_1 + R_textparallel + R_4 = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5\ Omega Total circuit current is: I = fracVR_texteq = frac10text V5\ Omega = 2text A ### Step 2: Determine Current in R3 The total current of 2text A enters the parallel branch of R_2 and R_3.

The diagram displays a circuit consisting of three parallel branches containing R1, a 20 Ohm resistor, and a 15 Ohm resistor, with an ammeter in series.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 30 to 30

Solution

### Related Formula For parallel branches, the potential difference V across each branch is identical: V = I_i R_i According to Kirchhoff's Current Law, the total current I_texttotal is the sum of currents in all parallel branches: I_texttotal = i_1 + i_2 + i_3 ### Core Logic Analyzing the circuit diagram: * Branch 1: Current i_1 through 20\ Omega is 0.3text A. * Branch 2: Contains 15\ Omega resistor with current i_2. * Branch 3: Contains resistor R_1 with current i_3. Since the branches are in parallel, they have the same potential difference V_AB: V_AB = i_1 times 20\ Omega = 0.3text A times 20\ Omega = 6text V ### Step 1: Calculate Currents Current through the second branch (15\ Omega resistor) is: i_2 = fracV_AB15\ Omega = frac6text V15\ Omega = 0.4text A Total current read by the ammeter is 0.9text A. Thus: i_1 + i_2 + i_3 = 0.9text A 0.3text A + 0.4text A + i_3 = 0.9text A 0.7text A + i_3 = 0.9text A implies i_3 = 0.2text A ### Step 2: Calculate R1 Now use the voltage relation for the branch containing R_1: i_3 times R_1 = V_AB (0.2text A) times R_1 = 6text V R_1 = frac60.2 = 30\ Omega
