Answer to Question #292232 in Electricity and Magnetism for TURANA

Question

11. The e.m.f. of an element is 6 V. When the external resistance is 1.1 Ohm the current in the circuit is equal to 3 A. Find the potential drop inside the element and its resistance.

Answer 1

$I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R+r},\implies$

$r=\frac{\varepsilon}I-R=0.9~Ohm,$

$U_r=\varepsilon\frac r{R+r}=2.7~V.$
