Two cells are connected in opposition as shown. Cell \(\mathrm{E}_1\) is of \(8 \mathrm{~V}\) emf and \(2 \ \Omega\) internal resistance; the cell \(E_2\) is of \(2 \mathrm{~V}\) emf and \(4\ \Omega\) internal resistance. The terminal potential difference of cell \(\mathrm{E}_2\) is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(6\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(I=\frac{8-2}{2+4}=\frac{6}{6}=1 \mathrm{~A}\)
Applying Kirchhoff from \(C\) to \(B\)
\( V_C-2-4 \times 1=V_B \)
\( V_C-V_B=6 \mathrm{~V} \)
\( =6 \mathrm{~V}\)

Applying Kirchhoff from \(C\) to \(B\)
\( V_C-2-4 \times 1=V_B \)
\( V_C-V_B=6 \mathrm{~V} \)
\( =6 \mathrm{~V}\)
