Question:

The storage battery of a car has an emf of 10 V. If the internal resistance of the battery is 0.2 Ω, then the maximum current that can be drawn from the battery is

Options:

100 A

10 A

5 A

50 A

Correct Answer:

50 A

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 50 A

Given:

EMF of battery: $E = 10$ V

Internal resistance: $r = 0.2 \ \Omega$

Maximum current occurs when external resistance $R = 0$: $I_\text{max} = \frac{E}{r}$

$I_\text{max} = \frac{10}{0.2} = 50$ A

Answer: $I_\text{max} = 50$ A
