Corrosion around an electrical terminal causes an increase in electrical resistance. explain why this would be undesirable in a battery?

As the corrosion increases the resistance, and batteries are designed to give a specified voltage to the circuit attached to it, hence if the resistance across the terminals of battery increases thn the voltage drop across the terminals of battery will increase, causing a decrease in voltage supplied to the external circuit, which is undesire-able. Hope u got the answer :) ---- Corrosion allows atoms of energy to drain off through the frame. If the battery is not a newer one it will go dead soon. Corrosion is the wrong term oxidation of metal is what occurs when electrolyte leaks. WHEN that is evident then the additional resistance induced will limit the current output. Basically reduce the efficiency of the battery as a source of power. ----


Why losses are undesirable in dc motor?

Losses are undesirable in any kind of electric motor (DC, AC, stepper, servo, synchro, etc.) because they waste power, can cause excessive heating in the motor, can accelerate wear-out and cause premature failure of the motor, etc. Ultimately they are undesirable because the problems above increase the need for maintenance, thus increasing lifetime cost of the motor. It all comes down to money.


What is difference between wet corrosion and dry corrosion?

Corrosion is occurs when a metal becomes wet or damp. A current flows through this, making the unmoving particles throught the steel to the more reactive parts on the surface. These are called anodes. The current returns from the more reactive parts, through it, and then back to the the more still parts. Where the current leaves the anode, rust forms. Wet corrosion happens when a metal or other material is wet or damp- (or can be caused through the mositure in the air) Dry corrosion is similar, however the difference is that it forms through the presence of gasses in the air

How does corrosion affect a battery?

It can block the charge from the battery to the system if there is to much. The corrosion gets between the terminals and the power won't go through. If you have corrosion on your terminals you need to clean them.


What causes battery corrosion?

Sulfuric acid fumes escaping from the battery.
