Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 290

Question: A cell of internal resistance 3 ohm and emf 10 volt is connected to a uniform wire of length 500 cm and resistance 3 ohm. The potential gradient in the wire is

[MP PET 2003]

Options:

A) 30 mV/cm

B) 10 mV/cm

C) 20 mV/cm

D) 4 mV/cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Potential gradient = $ \frac{e.R}{(R+r).L} $ = $ \frac{10\times 3}{(3+3)\times 5} $ . $ =1V/m=10,mV/cm. $
