Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 601

Question: n identical cells each of e.m.f. E and internal resistance r are connected in series. An external resistance R is connected in series to this combination. The current through R is

[DPMT 2002]

Options:

A) $ \frac{nE}{R+nr} $

B) $ \frac{nE}{nR+r} $

C) $ \frac{E}{R+nr} $

D) $ \frac{nE}{R+r} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Total e.m.f. = nE, Total resistance R + nr

Therefore $ i=\frac{nE}{R+nr} $
