Question
A rechargeable battery has an emf of 13.2 V and an internal resistance of 0.840 ?. It is charged by a 14.7-V power supply for a time interval of 1.50 h. After charging, the battery returns to its original state as it delivers a constant current to a load resistor over 6.14 h. Find the efficiency of the battery as an energy storage device. (The efficiency here is defined as the energy delivered to the load during discharge divided by the energy delivered by the 14.7-V power supply during the charging process.)Explanation / Answer
{(13.2^2)*1.5}/{(14.7^2)*6.14}=0.197
