Battery monitor LED

BATTERY MONITOR


This circuit makes it possible to monitor the charging process of a battery. After constructing the circuit, final adjustments are simple and the only thing needed is a digital voltmeter for the necessary accuracy. Connect an input voltage of 12.65 volt between the positive and negative connections of the circuit and adjust the VR1 (10K trimmer) until Led 10 lights up. Lower the voltage and in sequence all other LEDs will light up. Check that Led 1 lights up at approximately 11.85 volts. At 12.65 volt and higher the battery is fully charged, and at 11.85 is considered to be at its lowest state. LED 8, 9 and 10 indicate the battery capacity is more than 50%, LED 4 to LED 7 indicate a capacity of 30% - 50% and LED 1 to LED 3 indicate less that 30%. This circuit, with the components shown, uses less than 10mA. Of course you can adapt it to your own needs by making small modifications. This circuit is set for DOT mode, meaning only one LED at a time will be lit. If you wish to use the BAR mode,  connect pin 9 to the positive supply rail, but obviously with increased current consumption. The LED brightness can be adjusted by choosing a different value for the 5k6 resistor connected at pin 6 and 7. The diode 1N4007 was included to protect the circuit from a wrong polarity connection.

Fleming's left hand rule

Fleming's left hand rule The direction of force produced on a current-carrying cunductor placed in magnetic field can be determined by this rule. as shown in photo hold the thumb,forefinger and middle finger of the left hand mutually at right angles to each other., such that the forefinger is in the direction of current flow in the cunductor; then the thumb indicates the direction of motion of the conductor.

Fleming's right hand rule

Fleming's right hand rule The direction of dynamically induced emf can be identified by this rule.Hold the thumb,forefinger and middle finger of the right hand at the right angles to each other as shown in the photo such that the forefinger is in the direction of the motion of the conductor, then the middle finger indicates the direction of emf induced. i.e.towards the observer or away from the observer.
