The potential difference across a cell is 1.8 V when a current of 0.5 A is drawn from it. The p.d. falls to 1.6 V when a current of 1.0 A is drawn. Find the emf and the internal resistance of the cell.
Given E = 1.1 V
r = r
R = 10 r
Potential difference across the resistor = IR
= (E/R+r) R
= (1.1/10r+r) 10 r
\(=\frac{1.1\times10\,r}{11\,r\times10}\)
= 11/11
= 1 volt
option (c) is correct.
Here. V = 100 ± 2 volt and I = 10 ± 0.5 ampere
Expressing limits of error as percentage error,
We have,
V = 100 volt ± \(\frac{2}{100}\) × 100% = 10 volt ± 2% and...
