In an electric circuit shown, each cell has e.m.f. 2 V and internal resistance 1 Ω. The external resistance is 2 Ω. The value of current (in A) is (a) 2 (b) 1.25 (c) 0.4 (d) 1.2

Answer: (d). The figure shows three identical cells in series, all in the same direction. Enet = 3 × 2 = 6 V, rnet = 3 × 1 = 3 Ω I = (6)/(2 + 3) = 1.2 A. So the answer is (d) 1.2.

Cells: EMF, Internal Resistance & Combinations

In an electric circuit shown, each cell has e.m.f. $2\text{ V}$ and internal resistance $1\ \Omega$ . The external resistance is $2\ \Omega$ . The value of current (in A) is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

The figure shows three identical cells in series, all in the same direction.
$E_{net} = 3 \times 2 = 6\text{ V}$ , $r_{net} = 3 \times 1 = 3\ \Omega$
$I = \frac{6}{2 + 3} = 1.2\text{ A}$ . So the answer is (d) 1.2.
