A 75.0-V and a 45.0-V resistor are connected in parallel. When this combination is connected across a battery, the current delivered by the battery is 0.294 A. When the 45.0-V resistor is disconnected, the current from the battery drops to 0.116 A. Determine (a) the emf and (b) the internal resistance of the battery.

Answer:

A)  [tex]8.99[/tex] V

B) [tex]2.5[/tex] Ohm

Explanation:

Two resistors are connected in parallel circuit. Thus, the equivalent resistance across the circuit is equal to

[tex]\frac{I}{R_e} = \frac{I}{R_1} + \frac{I}{R_2}\\[/tex]

Substituting the values of [tex]R_1[/tex] and [tex]R_2[/tex], we get

[tex]\frac{1}{R_e} = \frac{1}{45} + \frac{1}{75}\\\frac{1}{R_e} = 0.03555\\R_e = 28.125[/tex]

Let the internal resistance of the battery be represented by "r"

As per Ohm's law

[tex]Emf = IR[/tex]

Where I is the current and R is the resistance

When [tex]45.0[/tex]-V resistor is disconnected, the current from the battery drops to [tex]0.116[/tex] A.

Thus,

[tex]Emf = 0.294 (28.125 + r)[/tex]    -------- Eq (1)

[tex]Emf = 0.116 (75 + r)[/tex] --------           Eq (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 , we get

[tex]Emf = 8.99[/tex] V

Substituting the value of Emf in equation 1, we get -

[tex]r = 2.5[/tex] ohm

Answer:

The emf is 2.42 V.

The internal resistance of the battery is 8.98 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance [tex]R_{1}=75.0 \Omega[/tex]

Resistance [tex]R_{2}=45.0\ Omega[/tex]

Current = 0.294 A

Drop current = 0.116 A

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of equivalent resistance

[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{75}+\dfrac{1}{45}[/tex]

[tex]R=28.125\ \Omega[/tex]

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

[tex]V=IR[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]V=0.294\times28.125[/tex]

[tex]V=8.27\ volt[/tex]

We need to calculate the voltage after removed the 45.0 ohm resistance

Using formula of voltage

[tex]V=IR[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]V=0.116\times75.0[/tex]

[tex]V=8.7\ volt[/tex]

EMF and internal resistance of the battery is constant

We need to calculate the internal resistance

Using formula of emf

[tex]E=V+ir[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]E=8.27+0.294r[/tex]...(I)

[tex]E=8.7+0.116r[/tex]...(II)

Subtract equation (II) from equation (I)

[tex]0=0.43-0.178r[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{0.43}{0.178}[/tex]

[tex]r=2.42\ \Omega[/tex]

Put the value of r in equation (I)

[tex]E=8.27+0.294\times2.42[/tex]

[tex]E=8.98\ V[/tex]

Hence, The emf is 2.42 V.

The internal resistance of the battery is 8.98 V.
