Such considerations can also be applied to other situations; whenever an attempt is made to pro-
duce power, the whole system should be considered. For example, if an electric motor is being driven
by a battery, it is necessary to assess the effect of the current on the actual voltage achieved at the
terminals of the battery, reduced by the internal resistance of the cell and then the voltage drops along
the leads to the motor. Similarly, the ‘thermostatic’ efficiency of a fuel cell (see Chapter 21) can be
evaluated by considering the open circuit potential difference of the cell, but this potential is reduced
when drawing a significant current to
