AIPMT MAINS 2009 Physics Electromotive Force and Internal Resistance MCQ Question
A student measures the terminal potential difference (V) of a cell (of emf ε and internal resistance r) as a function of the current (I) flowing through it. The slope, and intercept, of the graph between V and I, then, respectively, equal:
-r and ε
r and -ε
-ε and r
ε and -r
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The equation V = ε - Ir shows that the slope of the V⁻I graph is -r and the intercept is ε.
