Real Batteries. Internal resistanceTo drive a current in a circuit we need a “charge pump”, a device that by doing work on the charge carriers maintains a potential difference.Let’s look at a gravitational analog of a battery:
A person does work to maintain a steady flow of balls through “the circuit”.However, this guy cannot move balls instantaneously. It takes time. So there is a natural hindrance to a completely free flow. To describe this hindrance we can introduce the internal resistance, r.It is inside a battery and it cannot be separated from the battery.
Pot. difference of a battery without an internal resistance is called an electromotive force.(EMF, ε)

Why is electric energy useful?
It can be easily transformed into other forms of energy.

How to find the power transformed by these electrical devices
Department of Physics and Applied PhysicsPHYS.1440 Lecture 11 Danylov
Electric PowerConsider any electrical device:
ΔVSome charge Q
Δt (for Q to go through the device)
As some charge Q moves through the potential difference ΔV, the potential energy of the charge changes by: ∆ ∆Let Δt be the time required the charge to move through the potential difference ΔV. Then, the power P (the rate energy is transformed, Physics I) is:
∙ ∆∆ ∆ ∙ ∆ ∙ ∆

The power transformed by a resistor can be written like this: ∙ ∆ ∆

Most loudspeakers are designed to have a resistance of 4 Ω. If it is connected to an amplifier with a rating of 100 W, what is the current to the loudspeaker?
