[DCE 2002]

Options:

A) 1.1 V

B) 1.8 V

C) 2.4 V

D) 1.41 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ E=\frac{V}{l} $ ; E is constant (volt. gradient).

Therefore $ \frac{V _{1}}{l _{1}}=\frac{V _{2}}{l _{2}} $

Therefore $ \frac{1.1}{140}=\frac{V}{180} $

Therefore $ V=\frac{180\times 1.1}{140}=1.41,V $
