Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 635

Question: Two batteries A and B each of e.m.f. 2 V are connected in series to an external resistance R = 1 ohm. If the internal resistance of battery A is 1.9 ohms and that of B is 0.9 ohm, what is the potential difference between the terminals of battery A

[MP PET 2001]

Options:

A) 2 V

B) 3.8 V

C) Zero

D) None of the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ i=\frac{2+2}{1+1.9+0.9}=\frac{4}{3.8}A $ For cell A $ E=V+ir $

Therefore $ V=2-\frac{4}{3.8}\times 1.9=0 $ .
