AIPMT MAINS 2012 Physics Internal Resistance of a Cell MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Cell having an emf ε and internal resistance r is connected across a variable external resistance R. As the resistance R is increased, the plot of potential difference V across R is given by:

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

As the external resistance R increases, the potential difference V across R approaches the emf ε. The correct graph is the one that shows V approaching ε asymptotically as R increases.
