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}
$
