JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

A \(10\,V\) battery with internal resistance \(1\,\Omega \) and a \(15\,V\) battery with internal resistance \(0.6\,\Omega \) are connected in parallel to a voltmeter (see figure). The reading in the voltmeter will be close to ................ \(V\)

  1. A \(12.5\)
  2. B \(24.5\)
  3. C \(13.1\)
  4. D \(11.9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(13.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the two cells oppose each other hence, the effective emf in closed circuit is \(15-10=5 \,\mathrm{V}\) and net resistance is \(1+\) \(0.6=1.6 \,\Omega\) (because in the closed circuit the internal resistance of two cells are in series. Current in the circuit,…
