Question
  1. Plot a graph showing variation of voltage vs the current drawn from the cell. How can one get information from this plot about the emf of the cell and its internal resistance?
  2. Two cells of emf’s $E_1$ and $E_2$ and internal resistance $r_1$ and $r_2$ are connected in parallel. Obtain the expression for the emf and internal resistance of a single equivalent cell that can replace this combination?

Answer

  1.  

$V=\varepsilon-Ir$
When current is zero (I = 0), $\text{V}=\in$
And when V = 0, $\text{I}=\text{I}_0,\text{ }r=\frac{\in}{I_0}$
  1.  

$\text{V}=\text{V}(\text{B}_1)-\text{V}(\text{B}_2)=\varepsilon_1-I_1r_1$
$\text{V}=\text{V}(\text{B}_1)-\text{V}(\text{B}_2)=\varepsilon_2-I_2r_2$
$I=I_1+I_2$
$=​​​​​\frac{​\varepsilon_1-\text{V}}{r_1}+\frac{​\varepsilon_2-\text{V}}{r_2}=\Big(\frac{​\varepsilon_1}{r_1}+\frac{\varepsilon_2}{r_2}\Big)-\text{V}\Big(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}\Big)$
$\text{V}=\frac{\varepsilon_1r_2+\varepsilon_2r_1}{r_1+r_2}-I\frac{r_1r_2}{r_1+r_2}$
On comparing with
$\text{V}=\varepsilon_{eq}-Ir_{eq}$
we get
$\varepsilon_{eq}=\frac{\varepsilon_1r_2+\varepsilon_2r_1}{r_1+r_2}$
$r_{eq}=\frac{r_1r_2}{r_1+r_2}$
Alternate Answer
A student may write the last two results in the following form.
$\frac{1}{r_{eq}}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}$
$\frac{\varepsilon_{eq}}{r_{eq}}=\frac{\varepsilon_1}{r_1}+\frac{\varepsilon_2}{r_2}$

You are given two sets of potentiometer circuits to measure the emf $E_1 $ of a cell. Set A: consists of a potentiometer wire of a material of resistivity $\rho_1$, area of cross-section $A_1$ and length l. Set B: consists of a potentiometer of two composite wire of equal lengths $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ each, of resistivity $\rho_1,\rho_2$ and area of cross-section $A _1,A_2$ respectively.

Find the relation between resistivity of the two wires with respect to their area of cross section, if the current flowing in the two sets is same. Compare the balancing length obtained in the two sets.
