A Battery Of Internal Resistance 4Ω Is Connected To The Net...

For maximum power transfer, external resistance should be equal to internal resistance of source

\Rightarrow \frac{(R + 2 R) (2 R + 4 R)}{(R + 2 R) + (2 R + 4 R)} = 4

i.e.

\frac{3 R \times 6 R}{3 R + 6 R} = 4

R = 2 Ω

Question 2.

When the two identical cells are connected either in series or in parallel across a 4 ohm resistor they send the same current through it. The internal resistance of the cell is

$1.2 Ω$
$2 Ω$
$4 Ω$
$4.8 Ω$

Discuss Question

Answer: Option C. ->

4 Ω

:
C
In series the current through the resistor R is

\frac{2 E}{R + 2 r}

In parallel connection, current through the resistor R is

\frac{E}{R + \frac{r}{2}}

I = \frac{2 E}{R + 2 r} = \frac{E}{R + \frac{r}{2}} 2 R + r = R + 2 r R = r r = 4 Ω

Question 3.

The scale of a galvanometer of resistance $100 Ω$ contains 25 divisions. It gives a deflection of one division on passing a current of $4 \times 10^{- 4} A$ . The resistance in ohms to be added to it, so that it may become a voltmeter of range 2.5 volt is

Discuss Question

Answer: Option B. -> 150
:
B
Current sensitivity of galvanometer

= 4 \times 10^{- 4}

Amp/div.
So full scale deflection current

(i_{g}) = C u r r e n t s e n s i t i v i t y \times T o t a l n u m b e r o f d i v i s i o n = 4 \times 10^{- 4} \times 25 = 10^{- 2} A

To convert galvanometer in to voltmeter, resistance to be put in series is

R = \frac{V}{i_{g}} - G = \frac{2.5}{10^{- 2}} - 100 = 150 Ω

Question 4.

36 cells each of e.m.f. 2 volt and internal resistance 0.5 ohm are connected in mixed grouping so as to deliver maximum current to a bulb of resistance 2 ohm. How are they connected. What is the maximum current through the bulb (n=no. of bulbs in series and, m = no. of bulbs in parallel)

n=12 ; m=3; 6 A
n = 9; m=4; 5A
n=5; m=7’ 6A
n=7; m=4; 8A

Discuss Question

Answer: Option A. -> n=12 ; m=3; 6 A

A
To deliver maximum current, the external resistance should be equal to internal resistance.
mn = 36; Rm = r n

\frac{m}{n} = \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12} \frac{m}{n} = \frac{r}{R} = \frac{0.5}{2} = \frac{1}{4} l_{m a x} = \frac{m n E}{2 n r} = \frac{3 \times 12 \times 2}{2 \times 12 \times 0.5} 6 A \to (1)
