Current Electricity Ques 53
53. Cell having an emf $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a variable external resistance $R$. As the resistance $R$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $V$ across $R$ is given by :

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 53.(c)
Solution:
- (c) The current through the resistance $R$
$I=(\frac{\varepsilon}{R+r})$
The potential difference across $R$
$V=I R=(\frac{\varepsilon}{R+r}) R$

Thus $V$ increases as $R$ increases upto certain limit, but it does not increase further.
