STANDARD Physics Internal Resistance of a Cell MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

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

A

(1)

B

(2)

C

(3)

D

(4)

Correct Answer

Option B

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.
