Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 594

Question: A 50V battery is connected across a 10 ohm resistor. The current is 4.5 amperes. The internal resistance of the battery is

[CPMT 1985; BHU 1997; Pb. PMT 2001]

Options:

A) Zero

B) 0.5 ohm

C) 1.1 ohm

D) 5.0 ohm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ i=\frac{50}{R+r} $

Therefore $ r=\frac{50}{4.5}-10=\frac{5}{4.5}=1.1\Omega $
