Thermodynamics 1st Law: reversible process for batteries?

sparkle123 · Dec 16, 2010

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"?
