current-electricity Question 25

Question: Q. 18. A battery of emf E and internal resistance, r, when connected with an external resistance of 12Ω produces a current of 0.5 A. When connected across a resistance of 25Ω, it produces a current of 0.25 A. Determine (i) the emf and (ii) the internal resistance of the cell.

Solution:

Ans. Given : R1=12Ω,I1=0.5 A

From I condition,

(i)E=I1(R1+r) E=0.5(12+r) =6+0.5r

O=0.5(12+r)

From II condition,

(ii)E=I2(R2+r) E=0.25(25+r) =6.25+0.25r

From eqns. (i) and (ii)

6+0.5r=6.25+0.25r 0.5r0.25r=6.256.0 0.25r=0.25 r=1Ω  Then E=6+0.5×1 E=6.5 V

r=1Ω1/2
