When fully discharged, an accumulator battery of emf possesses an internal resistance of . During the charging process, its internal resistance drops to . The battery, starting from its completely discharged state, is connected to a charger that provides a constant potential difference of . Calculate the current passing through the battery after a long period once it is completely charged.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The emf of the battery is .
The constant potential difference provided by the charger is .
When the battery is completely charged, its internal resistance drops to .
During the charging process, the current flows into the positive terminal of the battery. The net potential difference driving the current is .
Using Ohm's law, the current passing through the battery is given by:
Substituting the given values:
The constant potential difference provided by the charger is .
When the battery is completely charged, its internal resistance drops to .
During the charging process, the current flows into the positive terminal of the battery. The net potential difference driving the current is .
Using Ohm's law, the current passing through the battery is given by:
