Question
CBSEENPH12047917

Two batteries of emf 3V and 6 V with internal resistances 2 Ω and 4 Ω are connected in a circuit with resistance of 10 Ω as shown in figure. The current and potential difference between the points P and Q are

  • 316 A and 815 V

  • 163 A and 158 V

  • 316 A and 8 V

  • 316 A and 158 V

Solution

D.

316 A and 158 V

Kirchoff's voltage law states that for a closed loop series path, the algebraic sum of all voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero.

Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law in the given loop 

   -- 4I + 6 - 3 - 2I - 10I  = 0

                    -16 I = -3

                      I = 316 A

  Potential difference across PQ

          vPQ316 × 10 V

             vPQ= 158
