Two cells of emf ( E₁ ) and ( E₂ ) are joined in opposition (such that ( E₁>E₂ ) ). If ( r₁ ) and ( r₂ ) be the internal resistance and ( R ) be the external resistance, then the terminal potential difference is
Options
- A( E₁+E₂ r₁+r₂ R )
- B( E₁+E₂ r₁+r₂+R R )
- C( E₁-E₂ r₁+r₂ R )
- D( E₁-E₂ r₁+r₂+R R )
Correct answer
D. ( E₁-E₂ r₁+r₂+R R )
Step-by-step solution
Here, current through the circuit ( =I= net emf effective resistance ) ( I= E₁-E₂ r₁+r₂+R ) Using ohm's law, ( V=I R ), Terminal potential difference ( = (E₁-E₂ ) (r₁+r₂+R ) R )
