Question

Two cells $$A$$ and $$B$$, each of e.m.f. $$2\ V$$, are connected in series to an external resistance $$R=1\Omega$$. If the internal resistance of cell $$A$$ is $$1.9\Omega$$ and that of $$B$$ is $$0.9\Omega$$, what is the potential difference between the terminals of cell $$A$$?

A
None of the above
B
$$3.8\ V$$
C
$$2\ V$$
D
$$0$$
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is C. $$0$$
From ohm's law $$i=\dfrac{V}{R}$$
where $$V$$ is total emf, and R is equivalent resistance.
According to question:
$$i=\dfrac{2+2}{1+1.9+0.9}=\dfrac{4}{3.8}\ A$$
For cell $$A\:: E=V+ir \Rightarrow V=2-\dfrac{4}{3.8}\times 1.9=0$$.
