Question : 7

Total: 26

A 10V cell of negligible internal resistance is connected in parallel across a battery of emf 200 V and internal resistance 38Ω as shown in the figure. Find the value of current in the circuit.

OR
In a potentiometer arrangement for determining the emf of a cell, the balance point of the cell in open circuit is 350‌cm. When a resistance of 9 Ω is used in the external circuit of the cell, the balance point shifts to 300‌cm. Determine the internal resistance of the cell.

Solution:

Writing the equation
Finding the current
By Kirchoff's law, we have, for the loop ABDC,
200−38i−10=0
∴‌‌i=‌

190

A=5A

OR
Stating the formula
Calculating r
We have, r=(‌

−1)R=(‌

l1−l2

)R
∴‌‌r‌=(‌

350−300

300

)×9Ω
‌=‌

300

×9Ω=1.5Ω
