Solution
The correct option is A26V Key Point : Find the terminal potential difference in case of charging a battery. According to question, it is the case of charging of battery. So, terminal potential difference is given by TPD=VP−VR=E+Ir=2+(4×2)=10V....(i) Again, VR−VQ=IR=4×4=16V....(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get VP−VR+VR−VQ=10+16⇒VP−VQ=26V
