Question
Eight cells marked 1 to 8 each of emf 5 V and internal resistance 0.2 ohm are connected as shown in figure. What is the reading of the ideal voltmeter V?
Answer: Option D
:
D
The emfs of cells connected in reverse polarity cancel each other. Hence cells marked 2, 3 and 4 together cancel the effect of cells marked 5, 6 and 7 and the circuit reduces to that shown in figure. Now cells 1 and 8 are in reverse polarity. Hence the voltmeter reading = 5 – 5 = 0 V
