Write a note on lead - acid storage battery.

Q. Write a note on lead - acid storage battery.

Answer:

 A storage cell that can operate both as a voltaic cell and as an electric cell, When operating as a voltaic cell it supplies electrical energy and as a result eventually becomes "run down". It must then be reacharged, When being recharged, the cell operates as an electrolytic cell. Thus, storge cell has the great advantaged of its ability to work both ways, to receive electrical energy and also to supply it:


Construction: The common example of a storage cell is the lead storage cell. One of its electrodes is made of lead. The other electrode is made of lead dioxide (PbO_{2}) or rather a paste of PbO_{2} is pressed into a grid made of lead. A number of lead plates (-ve plates) are connected in parallel and a number of lead dioxide plates (+ve plates) are also connected in parallel. The lead plates fit in between the lead dioxide plates. Various plates are separated form the adjacent ones by insulators like strips of wood or rubber or glass fibre. The entire combination is then immersed in approximately 20% H_{2}SO_{4}

Space-Time Fabric-what-how-why-science

 Space-Time Fabric: A Complete Overview The concept of space-time fabric originates from Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (1915). It describes how gravity is not just a force (as Newton thought) but rather the curvature of space and time caused by mass and energy. This explanation transformed our understanding of the universe.

The Four-Dimensional Continuum In classical physics, space and time were seen as separate entities: Space: A three-dimensional framework (length, width, height). Time: A separate, independent dimension that flows uniformly. However, Einstein’s Special Relativity (1905) showed that space and time are deeply linked, forming a four-dimensional continuum called space-time: 1. Three spatial dimensions (X, Y, Z – length, width, height). 2. One time dimension (T – the passage of time). Thus, events in the...

Questions from potentiometer

  Potentiometer Questions from potentiometer Q1. Why is a potentiometer preferred over a voltmeter for measuring the emf of a cell? Ans. Potentiometer work on null method, It does not draw any current from the cell thus there there is no potential drop due to the internal resistance of the cell. It measures the potential difference in an open circuit which is equal to the actual EMF of the cell. It is very accurate device. On the other hand, voltmeter draw small current from the cell for its operation. So it measures terminal potential difference in a closed circuit which is less than EMF of the cell Q2. The sensitivity of a potentiometer increases with increase in length of its wire. Explain why? Ans. When the length of the wire increases the fall of potential per unit length of the wire become smaller (i.e potential gradient K= V/L ). Hence even a small potential difference can be measured. Q3. Sometime the balance point in the potentiometer may not be obtained on the wire ...
