Practicing Success
A battery with finite internal resistance is connected across an external resistance. When the external resistance is increased to five times, The voltage across the battery terminals increases from 10 V to 30 V. The emf of the battery is |
20V 30V 60V 70V |
60V |
Voltage across teminal of battery is $V = E - Ir = E - \frac{E}{r+R} r = \frac{E}{R+r} R $ $\frac{E}{R+r} R = 10$ .............(1) $\frac{E}{5R+r} 5R = 30$ .........(2) Divide (2) and (1) $\Rightarrow \frac{5(R+r)}{5R+r} = 3$ $ \Rightarrow 10R = 2r , r = 5R$ From equation (1) , E = 60V
