The charging scheme used in Figure P2.12 is called a tapered-current charge cycle. The current starts at the highest level and then decreases with time for the entire charge cycle, as shown. The battery is charged for 12 h. Find: a. The total charge delivered to the battery. b. The energy transferred to the battery during the charging cycle.
Hint: Recall that the energy, w, is the integral of power, or P = dw/dt.
