Ammeter

Voltmeter

Charging unit

Hydrometer

3. CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE


-

Set up the circuit for Charging a lead accumulator.

10

Safety regulations:
-

When transporting accumulators, take care that no electrolyte comes in contact with
the skin or clothing (risk of corrosive burns).

When charging accumulators, always place them on an acid-resistant surface. Any


electrolyte which flows out will cause damage to the surfaces of workbenches and
tables.

When charging, open the vent plugs; a chemical reaction takes place inside the
accumulator, and this generates gases.

Accordingly, never smoke in the vicinity of batteries emitting gas, or use a naked flame
when close to them - there is a considerable risk of explosion.

Never charge up a battery in an unventilated, enclosed area. Switch on a fan and


open the windows.

11

Hints for maintenance:


-

Clean accumulators, which have become very dirty, with tap water.

Always ensure that the poles are clean. Clean them and apply petroleum jelly
(vaseline).

The lead plates must be covered by at least 5 mm of electrolyte.


Any lack of electrolyte should be made up by adding distilled water.

The charging current should amount to approx. 1/10 of the rated capacitance (rated
capacitance 42 Ah = 4.2 A Charging current).

When charging the accumulator, make sure the polarity is correct.

Test the accumulator either with the hydrometer (density of the acid), or by testing the
level of the charge with a battery tester (voltmeter with load resistors connected in
parallel).

Make intermediate measurements, at specific intervals of time, of the level of the


charge. Use a voltmeter, hydrometer, and the battery tester.

Enter the measured results in the tables.

No. 3 Electrochemistry - Lead-acid accumulator

1. CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE


-

Set up the circuit for charging a lead-acid accumulator.

Safety regulations:
-

When transporting accumulators, take care that no electrolyte comes in contact with
the skin or clothing (risk of corrosive burns).

When charging accumulators, always place them on an acid-resistant surface. Any


electrolyte which flows out will cause damage to the surfaces of workbenches and
tables.

42

When charging, open the vent-plugs; a chemical reaction takes place inside the
accumulator, and this generates gases.
Accordingly, never smoke in the vicinity, of batteries emitting gas, or use a naked
flame when close to them - there is a considerable risk of explosion.

Never charge up a battery in an unventilated, enclosed area. Switch an a fan and


open the windows.

Hints for maintenance:


-

Clean accumulators, which have become very dirty, with tap water.

Always ensure that the poles are clean. Clean them and apply petroleum jelly
(Vaseline).

The lead plates must be covered by at least 5 mm of electrolyte.


Any lack of electrolyte should be made up by adding distilled water.

The charging current should amount to approx. 1/10 of the rated capacitance (rated
capacitance 42 Ah: 4,2 A charging current).

When charging the accumulator, make sure the polarity is correct.

Test the accumulator either with the hydrometer (density of the acid), or by testing the
level of the charge with a battery tester (voltmeter with load resistors connected in

Magnetic field due a current in a conductor

1. CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE


-

Set up the circuit.


In order for a current of 25 A to flow, we require a consuming component (ballast
resistor) with 0.48 /300 W.

Pour some iron filings onto the sheet of paper.

If the switch is now closed, current can flow, and the iron filings will arrange
themselves in a pattern around the conductor.

Result:
When current flows through the conductor, a magnetic field is created around it.

51

Now repeat the experiment, and instead of the iron filings, place three or four magnetic
needles around the conductor.

Now observe the magnetic needles, before and during the current flow.

Now reverse the current in the conductor loop (exchange + and -), and observe the
magnetic needles once again.

Result:
The direction of the lines of the magnetic field of a conductor under current depends an
the direction in which the current is flowing.
"Corkscrew or screw rule":

If we imagine a corkscrew or a screw being screwed in the direction of the current, the
direction of rotation corresponds to the direction of the field lines.

Magnetic field due to a current in a coil

1. CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE


-

Set up the circuit.

Place magnetic needles around and inside the coil.

Now switch an the current supply (max. 7 A direct current).

Observe the magnetic needles before and during the current flow.

Result:
-

When the current flows through the coil, the magnetic fields of the individual coils
produce a common magnetic field.

Inside the coil, the field lines run parallel to one another, and are of the same density
(homogeneous magnetic field).

The field lines emerge from one end face of the coil (north pole) and enter the
opposite end face (south pole).

55

The north and south poles of a coil under current can also be determined by the "coil

Place your right hand an the coil in such a way that your fingers point in the direction of
the current flow. The extended thumb will then point in the direction of the field lines,

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field

1. CARRY OUT THE EXERCISE


-

Set up the circuit.


Ensure that the conductive trapeze is able to move freely within the magnetic field of
the permanent magnet.

The power supply is now switched on. The current flows through the conductive
trapeze (approx. 1.5 to 2 A).

Observe the conductive trapeze.

Reverse the current flowing through the trapeze (the current flows in the opposite
direction).

59

Switch the power supply on again, and observe what happens to the trapeze.

Finally, the permanent magnet is turned round, thus reversing the direction of the
magnetic field. The direction of the current in the conductive trapeze is maintained.

Result:
-

A conductor under current is deflected into a magnetic field.

The direction of the deflecting force is dependent on the direction of the magnetic field
and the direction of the current in the conductor.

The direction of movement of the conductor can also be determined by means of the
"left-hand-rule".
Hold your left hand in such a way that the field lines enter perpendicular onto the inner
surface of the hand, and so that the extended fingers point in the direction of the
current flow. Your extended thumb will then indicate the direction of deflection of the
conductor.
