When fully discharged, an accumulator battery of emf 6 V6 \text{ V} possesses an internal resistance of 10Ω10 \Omega. During the charging process, its internal resistance drops to 1Ω1 \Omega. The battery, starting from its completely discharged state, is connected to a charger that provides a constant potential difference of 9 V9 \text{ V}. Calculate the current passing through the battery immediately after the circuit is connected.

Options

  1. A0.6 A0.6 \text{ A}
  2. B0.9 A0.9 \text{ A}
  3. C0.3 A0.3 \text{ A}
  4. D1.5 A1.5 \text{ A}

Correct answer

C. 0.3 A0.3 \text{ A}

Step-by-step solution

The current II passing through a battery during the charging process is given by the relation V=E+IrV = E + Ir, where VV is the potential difference provided by the charger, EE is the emf of the battery, and rr is its internal resistance.

Immediately after the circuit is connected, the battery is still in its completely discharged state. Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is r=10Ωr = 10 \Omega.

Substituting the given values V=9 VV = 9 \text{ V}, E=6 VE = 6 \text{ V}, and r=10Ωr = 10 \Omega into the formula:

I=V−ErI = \dfrac{V - E}{r}

I=9−610I = \dfrac{9 - 6}{10}

I=310=0.3 AI = \dfrac{3}{10} = 0.3 \text{ A}
