Current Electricity

  1. The internal resistance of a 2.1 V cell which gives a current of 0.2 A through a resistance of 10 Ω is
    1. 0.5 Ω ​
    2. 0.8 Ω ​
    3. 1.0 Ω ​
    4. 0.2 Ω
Correct Option: A

Given : emf ε = 2.1 V ​
I = 0.2 A, R = 10Ω ​
Internal resistance r = ? ​
From formula. ​
ε – Ir = V = IR ​
2.1 – 0.2r = 0.2 × 10 ​
2.1 – 0.2 r = 2   or   0.2 r = 0.1

⇒ r =0.1= 0.5 Ω
0.2
