Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 645

Question: When the resistance of 9 W is connected at the ends of a battery, its potential difference decreases from 40 volt to 30 volt. The internal resistance of the battery is

[DPMT 2003]

Options:

A) 6 W

B) 3 W

C) 9 W

D) 15 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

The internal resistance of battery is given by $ r=( \frac{E}{V}-1 )R=( \frac{40}{30}-1 )\times 9 $

$ =\frac{9\times 10}{30}=3,\Omega $
