A battery of emf 10 V and internal resistance \( 3 \, \Omega \) is connected to an external resistor. If the current in the circuit is 0.5 A, then the voltage drop across the external resistor will be

  1. A \(8.5 V\)
  2. B \(8 V\)
  3. C \(17 V\)
  4. D \(11.5 V\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8.5 V\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_{ext} = E - I r \) \( V_{ext} = 10\,V - (0.5\,A \times 3\,\Omega) \) \( V_{ext} = 10\,V - 1.5\,V \) \( V_{ext} = 8.5\,V \)
