STANDARD Physics Internal Resistance of a Cell MCQ Question
A 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
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
As R increases, the potential difference V across R approaches the emf ε. The correct graph is a curve starting from the origin and asymptotically approaching ε, which is shown in Option 2.
