Zorluk: OrtaVoltage and Electromotive Force (EMF)

A battery pack is constructed using six 1.5 V1.5\text{ V} cells connected in series. If five of the cells are connected in series-aiding polarity and one cell is accidentally connected in reverse (series-opposing polarity), what is the total electromotive force (EMF) across the output terminals in volts?

Cevap: 6 V

Cevap

The net electromotive force across the terminals is 6.0 V6.0\text{ V}.
Electromotive force (EMF) values in a series circuit combine algebraically according to polarity. The five aiding cells provide +7.5 V+7.5\text{ V} (5×1.5 V5 \times 1.5\text{ V}), while the single reversed cell opposes the chain with −1.5 V-1.5\text{ V}. The resulting net output voltage is 7.5 V−1.5 V=6.0 V7.5\text{ V} - 1.5\text{ V} = 6.0\text{ V}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the combined electromotive force of the cells connected in series-aiding polarity.
5×1.5 V=7.5 V5 \times 1.5\text{ V} = 7.5\text{ V}
Cells oriented in the same aiding polarity add their potential differences directly.
2
Subtract the potential difference of the reversed (series-opposing) cell from the aiding sum.
7.5 V−1.5 V=6.0 V7.5\text{ V} - 1.5\text{ V} = 6.0\text{ V}
A reversed cell creates an electromotive force in the opposite direction, opposing the aiding cells and subtracting from the net terminal voltage.
