Question

Four cells each of emf $2\text{V}$ and internal resistance $1\Omega$ are connected in parallel with an external resistance of $6\Omega$. The current in the external resistance is

• A. $0.6\text{A}$
• B. $0.2\text{A}$
• C. $0.16\text{A}$
• D. $0.32\text{A}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.32\text{A}$

Given, $E=2\text{V};r=1\Omega ;R=6\Omega$

Current through the external resistance is,

$I=\frac{E}{R+\frac{r}{n}}=\frac{2}{6+\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{2}{6.25}$

$\Rightarrow I=0.32\text{A}$
