A 10 V battery having 3 Ω internal resistance is connected with a 200 V battery and a 35 Ω resistance as shown in the figure. The terminal potential drop at 10 V battery will be: |
18 V 25 V 15 V 9 V |
25 V |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 25 V Since the batteries oppose each other: External resistance = 35 Ω Current = 190 / 38 = 5 A Since it is being charged, terminal voltage = E + Ir Terminal voltage = 10 + (5 × 3) = 10 + 15 = 25 V |
