  1. Question 1

    Q1. A battery of emf 10 V and internal resistance 2 ohm is connected to a resistor. If the current is 0.5 A, the resistance is

    • A) 16 ohm
    • B) 18 ohm
    • C) 20 ohm
    • D) 22 ohm

    Answer: 18 ohm

    Explanation: Using I = E / (R + r), where E = 10, I = 0.5, r = 2, we get 0.5 = 10 / (R + 2), hence R + 2 = 20, R = 18 ohm
