A cell of emf 4 V and internal resistance 0.5 is connected to a 7.5 external resistance. The terminal potential difference of the cell is
- 0.375 V
- 3.75 V
- 4.25 V
- 4 V
Answer
(2) 3.75 V
Solution
Current: I = R + r = 47.5 + 0.5 = 0.5 A
Terminal potential difference: V = - Ir
= 4 - 0.5 0.5
= 3.75 V
Answer: (2)
