Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit

1 answer:

3 0

Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.

Explanation:

Forces on Block A:

Let the x-axis be (+) towards the right and y-axis be (+) in the upward direction. We can write the net forces on mass $m_A$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = f_N - T = -m_Aa\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Ag = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

Substituting (2) into (1), we get

$\mu_km_Ag - T = -m_Aa \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(3)$

where $f_N= \mu_kN$ , the frictional force on $m_A.$ Set this aside for now and let's look at the forces on $m_B$

Forces on Block B:

Let the x-axis be (+) up along the inclined plane. We can write the forces on $m_B$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = T - m_B\sin30= -m_Ba\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(4)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Bg\cos30 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(5)$

From (5), we can solve for N as

$N = m_B\cos30 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(6)$

Set (6) aside for now. We will use this expression later. From (3), we can see that the tension T is given by

$T = m_A( \mu_kg + a)\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(7)$

Substituting (7) into (4) we get

$m_A(\mu_kg + a) - m_Bg\sin 30 = -m_Ba$

Collecting similar terms together, we get

$(m_A + m_B)a = m_Bg\sin30 - \mu_km_Ag$

$a = \left[ \dfrac{m_B\sin30 - \mu_km_A}{(m_A + m_B)} \right]g\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(8)$

Putting in the numbers, we find that $a = 1.4\:\text{m/s}$ . To find the tension T, put the value for the acceleration into (7) and we'll get $T = 21.3\:\text{N}$ . To find the force exerted by the inclined plane on block B, put the numbers into (6) and you'll get $N = 50.9\:\text{N}$
