Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 605

Question: The internal resistances of two cells shown are $ 0.1,\Omega $ and $ 0.3,\Omega $ . If $ R=0.2,\Omega $ , the potential difference across the cell

Options:

A) B will be zero

B) A will be zero

C) A and B will be 2V

D) A will be $ >2V $ and B will be $ <2V $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Applying Kirchhoff law $ (2+2)=(0.1+0.3+0.2)i $

Therefore $ i=\frac{20}{3}A $ Hence potential difference across A $ =2-0.1\times \frac{20}{3}=\frac{4}{3}V $ (less than 2V) Potential difference across $ B=2-0.3\times \frac{20}{3}=0 $
