Question: The e.m.f. of a cell is E volts and internal resistance is $ r $ ohm. The resistance in external circuit is also $ r $ ohm. The p.d. across the cell will be

[CPMT 1985; NCERT 1973]

Options:

A) E/2

B) 2E

C) 4E

D) E/4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Since both the resistors are same,

Therefore potential difference $ =V+V=E $

Therefore $ V=\frac{E}{2} $
