COMEDK · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

A student measures the terminal potential difference \(V\) of a cell of \(\operatorname{emf} \varepsilon\) and internal resistance \(r\) as a function of the current I flowing through it. Which of the following graphs will give the values of emf \(\varepsilon\) and internal resistance \(r\) ?

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The terminal potential difference \(V\) of a cell with emf \(\varepsilon\) and internal resistance \(r\) is given by the equation \(V = \varepsilon - Ir\). This equation represents a linear relationship between \(V\) and \(I\), which can be written in the form \(y = mx + c\) as…
