Current Electricity

  1. A battery is charged at a potential of 15V for 8 hours when the current flowing is 10A. The battery on discharge supplies a current of 5A for 15 hours.  The mean terminal voltage during discharge is 14V. The “watt-hour” efficiency of the battery is​​
    1. 87.5% ​
    2. 82.5% ​
    3. 80% ​
    4. 90%
Correct Option: A

Efficiency is given by η -
output
input

=
5 x 15 x 14
= 0.875 or 87.5%
10 x 8 x 15
