The internal resistance of a 2.1 V cell which gives a current of 0.2 A through of 0.2A through a resistance of 10Ω is 

  • 0.2Ω

  • 0.5Ω

  • 0.8Ω

  • 1.0Ω

Solution

B.

0.5Ω

As,
fraction numerator straight E over denominator straight R plus straight r end fraction
space Or
space straight E space equals straight I space left parenthesis straight R plus straight r right parenthesis
2.1 space equals space 0.2 space left parenthesis 10 plus straight r right parenthesis
10 plus space straight r space equals space fraction numerator 2.1 over denominator 2 end fraction space straight x 10
straight r equals space 10.5 minus 10 space equals space 0.5 straight capital omega
