Question : 5
Total: 26
The plot of the variation of potential difference across a combination of three identical cells in series, versus current is shown below. What is the emf and internal resistance of each cell?
Solution:
Voltage across cell combination
V = E − I r
When currentI = 0 ⇒ V = E
Form graph, whenI = 0 , V = 6 V
⇒ emf E = 6 V
AsI = 1 A , at V = 0 (from graph)
∴ V = E − I r ⇒ 0 = 6 − 1 r ⇒ − 6 = − 1 r
r = 6 Ω
