The potential difference between the terminals of a cell is 20 V when a current of 2 A flows through the circuit. When the direction of current in the circuit is reversed, the potential difference between the terminals of the cell is 30 V. The internal resistance of the cell is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.5 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_1 = E - Ir\) \(20 = E - 2r\) \(V_2 = E + Ir\) \(30 = E + 2r\) \((E + 2r) - (E - 2r) = 30 - 20\) \(4r = 10\) \(r = 2.5 \, \Omega\)
