AIPMT MAINS 2009 Physics Electromotive Force and Internal Resistance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

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:

A

-r and ε

B

r and -ε

C

-ε and r

D

ε and -r

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The equation V = ε - Ir shows that the slope of the V⁻I graph is -r and the intercept is ε.
