Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 487

Question: The internal resistance of a primary cell is 4 ohm. It generates a current of 0.2 amp in an external resistance of 21 ohm. The rate at which chemical energy is consumed in providing the current is

[MP PMT 1994]

Options:

A) $ 0.42,J/s $

B) $ 0.84,J/s $

C) $ 5,J/s $

D) $ 1,J/s $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \frac{H}{t}=i^{2}R $ . Here total $ R=(21+4)=25\Omega $

Therefore Rate of energy consumed $ =0.2\times 0.2\times 25 $

$ =,1J/s $
