Question 16 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2023 • PHYSICS • objective

An unknown battery is tested with two different external resistors. - With a resistor \(R\) the terminal voltage across the resistor is \(6\ \text{V}\) and the current measured is \(2\ \text{A}\). - When the external resistance is changed to \(2R\) the terminal voltage becomes \(8\ \text{V}\). Assuming the battery has an emf \(E\) and an internal resistance \(r\), determine: 1. The emf \(E\) (in volts) and the internal resistance \(r\) (in ohms) of the battery. 2. The value of external resistance that will draw maximum power from the battery, and the maximum power (in watts) delivered to that load.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. E = 12 V, r = 3 Ω, maximum power = 12 W
B. E = 10 V, r = 2 Ω, maximum power = 10 W
C. E = 12 V, r = 4 Ω, maximum power = 9 W
D. E = 14 V, r = 4 Ω, maximum power = 14 W
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
E = 12 V, r = 3 Ω, maximum power = 12 W
