Physics JAMB 2002

an electric cell with nominal voltage E has a resistance of 3Ω connected across it. If the voltage falls to 0.6E, the internal resistance of the cell is

  • 1Ω
  • 2Ω checkmark
  • 3Ω
  • 4Ω

The correct answer is: B

Explanation

IR = 0.6 X I ( R + r )

I X 3 = 0.6 X I ( 3 + r )

3I / 0.6I = 3 + r

5 = 3 + r

r = 2 ohms
