The circuit of FIGURE Q28.4 has two resistors, with . Which of the two resistors dissipates the larger amount of power? Explain.

A 12 V car battery dies not so much because its voltage drops but because chemical reactions increase its internal resistance. A good battery connected with jumper cables can both start the engine and recharge the dead battery. Consider the automotive circuit of FIGURE P28.65.
a. How much current could the good battery alone drive through the starter motor?
b. How much current is the dead battery alone able to drive through the starter motor?
c. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the starter motor?
d. With the jumper cables attached, how much current passes through the dead battery, and in which direction?

a. What are the magnitude and direction of the current in the resistor in FIGURE ?
b. Draw a graph of the potential as a function of the distance traveled through the circuit, traveling cw from at the lower left corner.

The voltage across the terminals of a battery is when the battery is connected to a load. What is the battery’s internal resistance?
Compared to an ideal battery, by what percentage does the battery’s internal resistance reduce the potential difference across the resistor in FIGURE EX28.20?
