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 after a long period once it is completely charged.

Options

  1. A9 A9 \text{ A}
  2. B15 A15 \text{ A}
  3. C3 A3 \text{ A}
  4. D6 A6 \text{ A}

Correct answer

C. 3 A3 \text{ A}

Step-by-step solution

The emf of the battery is E=6 VE = 6 \text{ V}.

The constant potential difference provided by the charger is V=9 VV = 9 \text{ V}.

When the battery is completely charged, its internal resistance drops to r=1Ωr = 1 \Omega.

During the charging process, the current II flows into the positive terminal of the battery. The net potential difference driving the current is V−EV - E.

Using Ohm's law, the current passing through the battery is given by:

I=V−ErI = \dfrac{V - E}{r}

Substituting the given values:

I=9−61=3 AI = \dfrac{9 - 6}{1} = 3 \text{ A}
