STANDARD Physics Combination of Cells MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

In the series combination of n cells each cell having emf ε and internal resistance r. If three cells are wrongly connected, then total emf and internal resistance of this combination will be

A

nε, (nr − 3r)

B

(nε − 2ε), nr

C

(nε − 4ε), nr

D

(nε − 6ε), nr

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Since due to wrong connection of each cell the total emf reduced to 2ε then for wrong connection of three cells the total emf will reduced to (nε − 6ε) whereas the total or equivalent resistance of cell combination will be nr.
