(10 pts) When a battery with emf & and internal resistance r is connected to a 1002 resistor, the battery delivers 1.588 J per second to the 100 S2 resistor. When the same battery is connected to a 2002 resistor, it delivers 0.802 ) per second to the 200 12 resistor. What is the emf and internal resistance of the battery? Draw suitable diagrams to aid in your solution. 1 Drag n' Drop here or Browse

To solve this problem, we will use Ohm's Law and the power formula.

First, let's analyze the first scenario where the battery is connected to a 100 Ω resistor.

We are given that the battery delivers 1.588 J/s to the 100 Ω resistor. This is the power being supplied by the battery. We can use the power formula to find the current flowing through the circuit.

Power = Current^2 * Resistance

1.588 J/s = (Current)^2 * 100 Ω

Solving for Current:

Current = sqrt(1.588 J/s / 100 Ω)
Current ≈ 0.398 A

Now, let's analyze the second scenario where the battery is connected to a 200 Ω resistor.

We are given that the battery delivers 0.802 J/s to the 200 Ω resistor. Again, this is the power being supplied by the battery. We can use the power formula to find the current flowing through the circuit.

Power = Current^2 * Resistance

0.802 J/s = (Current)^2 * 200 Ω

Solving for Current:

Current = sqrt(0.802 J/s / 200 Ω)
Current ≈ 0.2 A

Now that we have the currents in both scenarios, we can use Ohm's Law to find the emf (ε) and internal resistance (r) of the battery.

In the first scenario:

ε - (Current) * r = (Current) * 100 Ω

ε - 0.398 A * r = 0.398 A * 100 Ω

In the second scenario:

ε - (Current) * r = (Current) * 200 Ω

ε - 0.2 A * r = 0.2 A * 200 Ω

We now have a system of equations with two unknowns (ε and r). Solving this system of equations will give us the values of the emf and internal resistance.

To draw suitable diagrams, you can represent the battery as a symbol with the emf (ε) and internal resistance (r) labeled. Connect the battery to the resistors using wires, and label the resistors with their respective values (100 Ω and 200 Ω). You can also label the currents flowing through the circuit.
