Flashlights

Question: If you remove the 2 batteries from a working flashlight and reinstall them backward so that they make good contact inside, will the flashlight still work?

Observations About Flashlights They turn on and off with a switch More batteries usually means brighter The orientation of multiple batteries matters Flashlights dim as batteries age Sometimes smacking a flashlight brightens it

A Battery Battery “pumps” charge from – end to + end –Chemical potential energy is consumed –Electrostatic potential energy is produced Current undergoes a rise in voltage –Alkaline cell: 1.5 volt rise –Lead-acid cell: 2.0 volt rise –Lithium cell: 3.0 volt rise Chain of cells produces larger voltage rise

A Light Bulb Structure –Contains a protected tungsten filament –Filament conducts electricity, but poorly Filament barely lets charge flow through it –Electrostatic potential energy is consumed –Thermal energy is produced Current undergoes a drop in voltage –Two-cell alkaline flashlight: 3.0 volt drop

A Simple Circuit A battery – the energy source A wire – the outgoing current path A light bulb – the energy destination (the load) A wire – the return current path

Circuits 1 Steady current requires a circuit path (a loop) –Charge mustn’t accumulate anywhere –A closed conducting loop avoids accumulation Steady current flow requires energy –Currents lose energy (and voltage) in conductors –Missing energy becomes thermal energy –Lost energy must be replaced

Circuits 2 A circuit can transport energy –Current obtains energy from a battery –Current delivers energy to a light bulb –Current starts the trip over again

Question: If you remove the 2 batteries from a working flashlight and reinstall them backward so that they make good contact inside, will the flashlight still work?

Recharging a Battery Forward (discharging) current flow –Battery “pumps” charge from – end to + end –Current undergoes voltage rise –Battery’s chemical potential energy is consumed Reverse (recharging) current flow –Circuit “pushes” charge from + end to – end –Current undergoes voltage drop –Battery’s chemical potential energy is replenished

Positive Charge Current points in the direction of positive flow Flow is really negative charges (electrons) It’s hard to distinguish between: –negative charge flowing to the right –positive charge flowing to the left We pretend that current is flow of + charges It’s really – charges flowing the other way

Short Circuits If a conducting path bridges the load –Current bypasses the load –Circuit is abbreviated or “short” No appropriate energy destination (load) Energy loss and heating occurs in the wires A recipe for fires!

Power Power is energy per unit of time Power is measured in joules/second or watts Batteries are power sources Loads are power consumers

Battery Power Current: units of charge pumped per second Voltage rise: energy given per unit of charge current · voltage rise = power produced

Load Power Current is units of charge passed per second Voltage drop: energy taken per unit of charge current · voltage drop = power received
