A car has a fresh storage battery of e.m.f. 15 V and internal resistance \( 4 \times 10^{-2} \ \Omega \).
If the starter motor draws a current of 85 A, what is the terminal voltage of the battery when the starter is on?

  1. A 3.4 V
  2. B 11.6 V
  3. C 12 V
  4. D 12.5 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 11.6 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V = \mathcal{E} - Ir \) \( V = 15 - (85 \times 4 \times 10^{-2}) \) \( V = 15 - 3.4 \) \( V = 11.6 \text{ V} \)
