Important Questions on Practical Circuits







Two cells of the same EMF but different internal resistances and are connected in series with an external resistance as shown in the figure. The terminal potential difference across, the second cell is found to be zero. The external resistance must then be:



A battery of e.m.f and internal resistance is charged by a battery charger which supplies a d.c. supply using a series resistance of . What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging?




A battery of and internal resistance is connected to a resistor. If the current in the circuit is ,.Calculate terminal voltage of the battery when the circuit is closed.





The internal resistance of an accumulator battery of emf is when it is fully discharged. As the battery gets charged up, its internal resistance decreases to . The battery in its completely discharged state, is connected to a charger which maintains a constant potential difference of . Find the current through the battery
just after the connections are made and after a long time when it is completely charged.
