    Quick Facts

    • Current Given by a Cell is considered one the most difficult concept.

    • 34 Questions around this concept.

    Solve by difficulty

    The maximum current through a cell of internal resistance $0.1\Omega$ and e.m.f 2V is 

    The potential drop inside a cell of internal resistance $0.5\Omega$  is found to be 2V. The current through the cell is 

    To verify Ohm’s law, a student connects the voltmeter across the battery as shown in the figure. The measured voltage is plotted as a function of the current and the following graph is obtained. If Vo is almost zero, then identify the correct statement.

    Current Given by a Cell

     

    1.       Current supplied by the cell

     

    • Cell supplies a constant current in the circuit.

    $
    i=\frac{E}{R+r}
    $

    $R$ - External resistance
    $r$ - internal resistance
    - Potential drop inside the cell=ir
    - The internal resistance of the cell

    $
    r=\left(\frac{E}{V}-1\right) R
    $

    - Power dissipated in external resistance

    $
    P=\left(\frac{E}{R+r}\right)^2 R
    $

    - Maximum power is obtained when the resistance value of the load is equal in value to that of the voltage sources internal resistance.

    Maximum power

    $
    P_{\max }=\frac{E^2}{4 r}
    $
