Current Electricity

Question:

A current of I ampere flows through a resistance R when connected across a cell of emf E and internal resistance 1Ω. When R is increased by 50%, the current through the circuit is 0.8A. What is the value of R?

Options:

4 Ω

6 Ω

1 Ω

2 Ω

Correct Answer:

1 Ω

Explanation:

1.0 A = \(\frac{E}{1 \Omega+ R}\)

0.8 A = \(\frac{E}{1 \Omega + (R/3)}\)

R = 1 \(\Omega\)
