Question

A bulbs is connected to a battery of p.d. 4 V and internal resistance 2.5Ω. A stedy current of 0.5 A
(i) the total energy supplied by the battery in 10 minutes,
(ii) the resistance of the bulb,and
(iii) the energy displated in the bulb in 10 minutes

Solution

Given,

Potential difference, V=4V

Internal resistance, r=2.5Ω

Steady current flowing, I=0.5 A

time t=10min=10×60=600sec

Resistance of bulb R,

(i)Total energy supplied in 10 minutes = I×V×t=0.5×4×600=1.2kJ

(ii) V=I(R+r)

R=VIr=40.52.5=5.5Ω

Resistance of bulb = 5.5Ω

(iii) Energy Dissipate in bulb in 10 minutes =I2Rt=0.52×5.5×600=825 J
