Two batteries A and B each of emf 2 V are connected in series to an external resistance R = 1 Ω. If the internal resistance of battery A is 1.9 Ω and that B is 0.9 Ω. What is the potential difference between the terminals of battery ? |
2 V 3.8 V Zero 4.8 V |
Zero |
i = $\frac{2+2}{1+1.9+0.9}=\frac{4}{3.8}$A For cell A, E = V + ir V = E - ir = $2 - \frac{4}{3.8} \times 1.9$ V = 0 (zero) |
