A student measures the terminal potential difference (V) of a cell (of emf and internal resistance r) as a function of the current (I) flowing through it. The slope, and intercept, of the graph between V and I, then respectively, equal
- -r and
- r and -
- - and r
- and -r
Answer
(1) -r and
Solution
Terminal potential difference of a cell delivering current I:
V = - Ir
V = (-r)I +
Comparing with y = mx + c: slope = -r and intercept =
