NEET2026PhysicsCurrent ElectricityActual
A resistor is connected to a battery of 12 V emf and internal resistance 2 . If the current in the circuit is 0.6 A, the terminal voltage of the battery is :
Options
- A10 V
- B1.2 V
- C12 V
- D10.8 V
Correct answer
D. 10.8 V
Step-by-step solution
The terminal voltage V of a battery discharging in a circuit is given by the relation: V = E - Ir Substituting the given values E = 12 V, r = 2 , and I = 0.6 A: V = 12 - (0.6 2) V = 12 - 1.2 V = 10.8 V Answer: 10.8 V
