Thermodynamics 1st Law: reversible process for batteries?

AI Thread Summary
To ensure that an electric battery produces an electric current reversibly, one must focus on maintaining equilibrium during the charge and discharge cycles. Achieving maximum work from a battery involves optimizing the thermodynamic processes, such as minimizing entropy generation and maximizing efficiency. Understanding the principles of reversible processes in thermodynamics is crucial for improving battery performance. The discussion highlights a need for clarity on the concept of reversible current production in batteries. Overall, the conversation seeks insights into enhancing battery efficiency through thermodynamic principles.

How could you ensure that an electric battery produced an electric current reversibly? How could you achieve maximum work from an electric battery?

I really have no idea how to solve this.

Thanks for your help!

(Also sorry I first posted this in advanced physics...i don't know how to delete that post)

Sorry, what do you mean by "battery produced an electric current reversibly"?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
