NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

A resistor is connected to a battery of 12 V emf and internal resistance 2 Ω. If the current in the circuit is 0.6 A, the terminal voltage of the battery is :

  1. A 10 V
  2. B 1.2 V
  3. C 12 V
  4. D 10.8 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10.8 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D) 10.8V
The terminal voltage \(V\) of a battery discharging in a circuit is given by the relation:
\(V=E-I r\)
Substituting the given values \(E=12 V, r=2 \Omega\), and \(I=0.6 A\) :
\(V=12-(0.6 \times 2)\)
\(V=12-1.2\)
\(V=10.8 V\)
