Question 12 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • PHYSICS • objective

A battery has an unknown emf \(E\) and internal resistance \(r\). When a single lamp of resistance \(R\) is connected across its terminals, a current of \(2.0\ \text{A}\) flows and the terminal voltage is \(8.0\ \text{V}\). When a second identical lamp is connected in parallel with the first, the total current supplied by the battery becomes \(3.0\ \text{A}\). Determine (i) the emf \(E\) of the battery, (ii) the internal resistance \(r\), and (iii) the efficiency (useful power delivered to the two lamps divided by the total power output of the battery) for the parallel arrangement. Express the efficiency as a percentage.

Answer Options

A. E = 12 V, r = 1 Ω, efficiency = 55%
Correct Answer B. E = 12 V, r = 2 Ω, efficiency = 50%
C. E = 14 V, r = 2 Ω, efficiency = 40%
D. E = 10 V, r = 2 Ω, efficiency = 45%
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
E = 12 V, r = 2 Ω, efficiency = 50%
