A battery of \(e m f 8 \mathrm{~V}\) and internal resistance \(0.5 \Omega\) is being charged by a 120 V dc supply using a series resistor of \(15.5 \Omega\). The terminal voltage of 8 V battery during charging is

  1. A 11.5 V
  2. B 1.15 V
  3. C 115 V
  4. D 0.5 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 11.5 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I=\frac{120-8}{15.5+0.5}=7 \mathrm{~A}\) \(\therefore \quad\) The potential difference across 8 V battery is \(\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{E}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{r}}=8+7 \times 0.5=11.5 \mathrm{~V}\)
