Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 613

Question: 100 cells each of e.m.f. 5 V and internal resistance 1 ohm are to be arranged so as to produce maximum current in a 25 ohms resistance. Each row is to contain equal number of cells. The number of rows should be

[MP PMT 1997]

Options:

A) 2

B) 4

C) 5

D) 10

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

If m = Number of rows and n = Number of cells in a row Then m ยด n = 100 …..(i) Also condition of maximum current is $ R=\frac{nr}{m} $

Therefore $ 25=\frac{1\times n}{m} $

Therefore n = 25 m …..(ii) On solving (i) and (ii) m = 2
