A cell of e.m.f 4 V and internal resistance $0.2 \Omega$ is connected to $1.8 \Omega$ (ohm) external resistance. The potential difference across the terminal of the cell will be: |
4 V 2.8 V 3.6 V 0.4 V |
3.6 V |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3.6 V Now, Current (I) = $\frac{V}{R}$ [By ohm's law] $=\frac{4}{1.8+0.2}$ $=2A$ ∴ Voltage across resistance = $2×1.8=3.6V$ |
