A battery of emf \(\mathrm{E}\) and internal resistance \(\mathrm{r}\) is connected with an external resistance \(\mathrm{R}\) as shown in the figure. The battery will act as a constant voltage source if

  1. A \(r< < R\)
  2. B \(r>>R\)
  3. C \(r=R\)
  4. D It will never act as a constant voltage source
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(r< < R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_R=\frac{E}{(R+r)} \times R, \quad V_R=\frac{E}{(1+r / R)}\) \(r < R, V_R \approx E\)
