AIPMT PRELIMS 2011 Physics Internal Resistance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A current of 2 Å flows through a 2 Ω resistor when connected across a battery. The same battery supplies a current of 0.5 Å when connected across a 9 Ω resistor. The internal resistance of the battery is

A

1 Ω

B

0.5 Ω

C

1/3 Ω

D

1/4 Ω

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula V = I(R + r), solve for r: 2 = ε/(²⁺ r) and 0.5 = ε/(⁹⁺ r), leading to r = 1/3 Ω.
