A cell of emf 1.1 V and internal resistance 0.5 \(\Omega\) is connected to a 0.5 \(\Omega\) wire. Another cell of same emf is added in series, but current remains unchanged. The second cell's internal resistance is :

  1. A 1 \(\Omega\)
  2. B 2.5 \(\Omega\)
  3. C 1.5 \(\Omega\)
  4. D 2 \(\Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 \(\Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_1 = \frac{1.1}{0.5 + 0.5} = 1.1 \text{ A}\) \(I_2 = \frac{1.1 + 1.1}{0.5 + (0.5 + r_2)}\) \(1.1 = \frac{2.2}{1 + r_2}\) \(1 + r_2 = \frac{2.2}{1.1} = 2\) \(r_2 = 2 - 1 = 1 \text{ } \Omega\)
