A cell can supply currents of 1 A and 0 . 5 A via resistances of 2 . 5 Ω and 10 Ω respectively. The internal resistance of the cell is
Options
- A2   Ω
- B3   Ω
- C4   Ω
- D5   Ω
Correct answer
D. 5   Ω
Step-by-step solution
Let the internal resistance of the cell be r and the potential difference be V . Then, 1 = V 2 . 5 + r And 0 . 5 = V 10 + r Solving the above two equations simultaneously, r = 5   Ω
