MCQ 3511 Mark
When a resistance of $2\, ohm$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is $0.5\, A$. When the resistance is increased to $5\, ohm$, the current is $0.25\, A$. The $e.m.f.$ of the cell is ................. $V$
  • A
    $1$
  • $1.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $2.5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1.5$
b
Since $i\, = \left( {\frac{E}{{R + r}}} \right),$ we get

$0.5 = \frac{E}{{2 + r}}$ ...... $(i)$

$0.25 = \frac{E}{{5 + r}}$ ..... $(ii)$

Dividing $(i)$ by $(ii)$,

we get $2 = \frac{{5 + r}}{{2 + r}}$ $ \Rightarrow $  $r = 1\,\Omega $

$0.5 = \frac{E}{{2 + 1}}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $E = 1.5\,V$

MCQ 3611 Mark
The two ends of a uniform conductor are joined to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $E$ and some internal resistance. Starting from the midpoint $P$ of the conductor, we move in the direction of current and return to $P$. The potential $V$ at every point on the path is plotted against the distance covered $(x)$. Which of the following graphs best represents the resulting curve
  • A


  • C

  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.

b
(b) When we move in the direction of the current in a uniform conductor, the potential difference decreases linearly. When we pass through the cell, from it's negative to it's positive terminal, the potential increases by an amount equal to it's potential difference. This is less than it's $emf$, as there is some potential drop across it's internal resistance when the cell is driving current.

A battery of $24$ cells, each of emf $1.5\, V$ and internal resistance $2\, \Omega$ is to be connected in order to send the maximum current through a $12 \,\Omega$ resistor. The correct arrangement of cells will be
  • $2$ rows of $12$ cells connected in parallel
  • B
    $3$ rows of $8$ cells connected in parallel
  • C
    $4$ rows of $6$ cells connected in parallel
  • D
    All of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2$ rows of $12$ cells connected in parallel
a
Suppose $m$ rows are connected in parallel and each row contains $n$ identical cells (each cell having $E = 15\, V$ and $r = 2\, \Omega$)

For maximum current in the external resistance $R$, the necessary condition is $R = \frac{{nr}}{m}$

$ \Rightarrow $   $12 = \frac{{n \times 2}}{m}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $n = 6\,m$ ..... $(i)$

Total cells $= 24 = n \times m$ ..... $(ii)$

On solving equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$n = 12$ and $m = 2$

i.e. $2$ rows of $12$ cells are connected in parallel.

A battery is of emf $E$ is being charged from a charger and hence current inside the cell is from anolde to cathode

$I=\frac{V-E}{I}$

$V=E+I r$

Therefore, when a cell is being charged the potential difference across its terminals is greater than emf of a cell. Also in charging the positive terminal is connected to anode of the cell and negative terminal to cathode.

Here, positive terminal of the battery is connected to terminal $A$ of charger and negative terminal of the battery is connected to terminal $B$ of charger.

Hence, Potential difference across points $A$ and $B$ must be more than $E$, $A$ must be at higher potential than $B$ and In battery, current flows from positive terminal to the negative terminal

When a resistor is added parallel to other resistor in circuit it results in the reduction of overall resistance, since there are multiple pathways by which charge can flow. adding another resistor in a separate branch provides another pathway by which to direct charge through the main area of resistance within the circuit. This decreased resistance resulting from increasing the number of branches will have the effect of increasing the rate at which charge flows i.e. the current.

a
$\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}$

$I_{1}=\frac{\varepsilon_{2}-V}{r_{1}} \Rightarrow I_{2}=\frac{\varepsilon_{2}-V}{r_{2}}$

Combining the last three equations

$\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}=\frac{\varepsilon_{1}-\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{2}-\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}$

$=\left(\frac{\varepsilon_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}+\frac{\varepsilon_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\right)-\mathrm{V}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\right)$

Hence, $\mathrm{V}$ is given by, $\mathrm{V}=\frac{\varepsilon_{1} \mathrm{r}_{2}+\varepsilon_{2} \mathrm{r}_{1}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}+\mathrm{r}_{2}}-\mathrm{I} \frac{\mathrm{r}_{1} \mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}+\mathrm{r}_{2}}$

If we want to replace the combination by a single cell, between $\mathrm{B}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{B}_{2}$ of emf $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{eq}}$ and internal resistance $\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{eq}},$

we would have $\mathrm{V}=\varepsilon_{\mathrm{eq}}-\mathrm{Ir}_{\mathrm{eq}}$

  • Potential at $P$ is $-7.5\,V$
  • B
    Potential at $Q$ is $-3\, V$
  • C
    Potential at $R$ is zero
  • D
    Potential at $S$ is zero
Answer
Correct option: A.
Potential at $P$ is $-7.5\,V$
a
$i=\frac{30}{10}=3$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{S}}=7.5 \times 3=22.5$ $\mathrm{volt}$

but $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{S}}=0 \quad$ so $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}=22.5$ $\mathrm{volt}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Q}}=1 \times 3$

Net $\mathrm{emf}$ of the circuit $= (n -2) E -2E = (n -4)E$ total resistance of the circuit $= nr$ 

$\therefore $ Current in the circuit will be,

$\mathrm{i}=\frac{(\mathrm{n}-4) \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{nr}}$

Hence, potential difference across $\mathrm{A}$ or $\mathrm{B}$ is,

${\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{E}+\mathrm{Ir}=\mathrm{E}+\frac{(\mathrm{n}-4) \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{nr}} \cdot \mathrm{r}} $

${=2 \mathrm{E}\left(1-\frac{2}{\mathrm{n}}\right)}$

Under what conditions current passing through a resistance $R$ can be increased by short circuiting the battery of emf $E_2$. The internal resistances of the two batteries are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively
  • A
    $E_2r_1 > E_1(R + r_2)$
  • $E_1r_2 > E_2(R + r_1)$
  • C
    $E_2r_2 > E_1(R + r_2)$
  • D
    $E_1r_1 > E_2(R + r_1)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$E_1r_2 > E_2(R + r_1)$
b
The current through the circuit before the battery of $\mathrm{emf}$ $\mathrm{E}_{2}$ is short circuited is,

$I_{1}=\frac{E_{1}+E_{2}}{R+r_{1}+r_{2}}$

After short circuiting the battery of $\mathrm{emf}$ $\mathrm{E}_{2}$. current through resistance $\mathrm{R}$ would be,

$I_{2}=\frac{E_{1}}{R+r_{1}}$

Now, $\quad \mathrm{I}_{2}>\mathrm{I}_{1}$

$\therefore $ ${\frac{\mathrm{E}_{1}}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{r}_{1}}>\frac{\mathrm{E}_{1}+\mathrm{E}_{2}}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{r}_{1}+\mathrm{r}_{2}}} $

${\mathrm{E}_{1} \mathrm{r}_{2}>\mathrm{E}_{2}\left(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{r}_{1}\right)}$

in sleady state

$I=\frac{2 V-V}{2 R+R}=\frac{V}{3 R}$

Potential differnce across $"\mathrm{R}"$ $=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{3 \mathrm{R}} \times \mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}$

$\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\mathrm{V}+\frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{CE{R_2}}}{{{R_2} + r}}$

$\mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\left(\mathrm{R}_{2}+\mathrm{r}\right)}$

In steady state capacitor is fully charged hence

No current will flow through line $(2)$ Hence potential difference across line $(1)$ is

$\mathrm{V}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\left(\mathrm{R}_{2}+\mathrm{r}\right)} \times \mathrm{R}_{2},$ the same potential difference appears across the capacitor, so charge on capacitor

$\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{C} \times \frac{\mathrm{ER}_{2}}{\left(\mathrm{R}_{2}+\mathrm{r}\right)}$

  • $r=R$
  • D
    $r\,=\,\frac {1}{R}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$r=R$
c
When the cells are connected in series, current

$\mathrm{I}_{1}$ is given by :

$I_{1}=\frac{n E}{R+n r}$   $. .(i)$

When the cells connected in parallel, current

$\mathrm{I}_{2}$ is given by :

$\mathrm{I}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{R}+\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{n}}}=\frac{\mathrm{nE}}{\mathrm{nR}+\mathrm{r}}$  $\ldots(\mathrm{ii})$

As $I_{1}=I_{2}$

So, $\frac{\mathrm{nE}}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{nr}}=\frac{\mathrm{nE}}{\mathrm{nR}+\mathrm{r}}$

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}+\mathrm{nr}=\mathrm{nR}+\mathrm{r}$
