(a) In electron-volts, how much work does an ideal battery with a 12.0 V emf do on an electron that passes through the battery from the positive to the negative terminal? (b) If 3.40×1018electrons pass through each second, what is the power of the battery in watts?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done by an ideal battery is W=12.0eV

The power of the battery in watts isP=6.53W

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Given

Emfε=12V

n=Nt=3.40×1018s-1
02

Determining the concept

Use the formula for work done relating with emf of battery to calculate its value. Then write the formula for the power in terms of current and voltage. Then, putting the current in terms of charge and charge in terms of no. of electrons passing per second, find an expression for power. Inserting the given values in it will give its value.

Formulae are as follow:

W=qV

PowerP=iV

Where,

W isWork done, P is Power,Where, i is current, V is voltage,q is charge.

(a) Determining the work done by an ideal battery

Work done by an ideal battery:

Work done is related to potential difference as,

W= qV

For an ideal battery ε=V

role="math" localid="1662555209307" W=qε

For electron,

W=eεSubstitutingallvalues,W=e(12V)W=12.0eV

Hence,the work done by an ideal battery isW=12.0eV

04

(b) determining the power of the battery in watts

The power of the battery in watts :

P=iV

But the current is,

i=qt

And,

q=Ne

i=Net

Hence,

P=NeVt=neV

Since , n=3.40×1018/s=12V ande=1.6×10-19C

P=(3.40×1018s-1)(1.6×10-19C)(12V)P=6.53W

Hence, the power of the battery in watts P=6.53W

Therefore, by using the formula for work done relating with emf of battery, thw work done and power of battery can be calculated.
