Question

the electric cell of internal resistance 0.5ohms delivers a current of 2 amperes when a resistance of 3 ohm is connected across it, find the electromotive force of the cell. Show all workings​

Answer 1

7 volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

E = IR+Ir................ Equation 1

Where E = electromotive force of the cell, I = current. R = External resistance, r = internal resistance.

From the question,

Given: I = 2 amperes, R = 3 ohm, r = 0.5 ohm

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = (2×3)+(2×0.5)

E = 6+1

E = 7 volts
