Question:

A cell  of e.m.f. E and internal resistance r is connected in series with an external resistance nr then the ratio of the terminal potential difference to E.M.F. is 

Options:

 1/n                                         

$\frac{1}{n+1}$

$\frac{n}{n+1}$

$\frac{n+1}{n}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{n}{n+1}$

Explanation:

$I = \frac{E}{nr+r} $

$ \text{Terminal potential } V = E -ir = E - \frac{E}{n+1} = \frac{nE}{n+1}$
