Question

A battery of emf 6V and internal resistance 3Ω is joined to a resistor of 10Ω. Calculate the terminal potential difference.
Options
A 0.46V
B 6.4V
C 4.6V
Correct Answer
D 46V
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Current I = emf/(R+r) = 6/13 ≈ 0.4615A. Terminal p.d. = I×R = 0.4615×10 ≈ 4.6V.

Hint

First find current through the circuit, then multiply by the external resistance.
