r other element is consumed by acids,giving up its energy as electrical energy. The losses in such agenerator can be reduced to a very small value, so that we mightget 80 per cent, efficiency at the terminals of the battery. Hence,total efficiency would be— Zinc to terminals So per cent. Terminals… … Fig. 122 And the waste products clog up the cells, so that, for these reasons,with all its ideal simplicity and high efficiency, the electric enginecan be used only for very small powers. The induction or generation of electric pressure in moving con-ductors is therefore at present of first…
