Flashlights

Question:
If you remove the 2 batteries from a working flashlight and reinstall them backward so that they make good contact inside, will the flashlight still work?

Observations About Flashlights
• They turn on and off with a switch• More batteries usually means brighter• The orientation of multiple batteries matters• Flashlights dim as batteries age• Sometimes smacking a flashlight brightens it

A Battery
• Battery “pumps” charge from – end to + end– Chemical potential energy is consumed– Electrostatic potential energy is produced
• Current undergoes a rise in voltage– Alkaline cell: 1.5 volt rise– Lead-acid cell: 2.0 volt rise– Lithium cell: 3.0 volt rise
• Chain of cells produces larger voltage rise

A Light Bulb
• Structure– Contains a protected tungsten filament– Filament conducts electricity, but poorly
• Filament barely lets charge flow through it– Electrostatic potential energy is consumed– Thermal energy is produced
• Current undergoes a drop in voltage– Two-cell alkaline flashlight: 3.0 volt drop

A Simple Circuit
• A battery – the energy source• A wire – the outgoing current path• A light bulb – the energy destination (the load)• A wire – the return current path

Circuits 1
• Steady current requires a circuit path (a loop)– Charge mustn’t accumulate anywhere– A closed conducting loop avoids accumulation
• Steady current flow requires energy– Currents lose energy (and voltage) in conductors– Missing energy becomes thermal energy– Lost energy must be replaced

Circuits 2
• A circuit can transport energy– Current obtains energy from a battery– Current delivers energy to a light bulb– Current starts the trip over again

Question:
If you remove the 2 batteries from a working flashlight and reinstall them backward so that they make good contact inside, will the flashlight still work?

Recharging a Battery
• Forward (discharging) current flow– Battery “pumps” charge from – end to + end– Current undergoes voltage rise– Battery’s chemical potential energy is consumed
• Reverse (recharging) current flow– Circuit “pushes” charge from + end to – end– Current undergoes voltage drop– Battery’s chemical potential energy is replenished

Positive Charge
• Current points in the direction of positive flow• Flow is really negative charges (electrons)• It’s hard to distinguish between:
– negative charge flowing to the right– positive charge flowing to the left
• We pretend that current is flow of + charges• It’s really – charges flowing the other way

Short Circuits
• If a conducting path bridges the load– Current bypasses the load– Circuit is abbreviated or “short”
• No appropriate energy destination (load)• Energy loss and heating occurs in the wires• A recipe for fires!

Power
• Power is energy per unit of time• Power is measured in joules/second or watts• Batteries are power sources• Loads are power consumers

Battery Power
• Current: units of charge pumped per second• Voltage rise: energy given per unit of charge
current · voltage rise = power produced

Load Power
• Current is units of charge passed per second• Voltage drop: energy taken per unit of charge
current · voltage drop = power received
