Question 23 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • PHYSICS • objective

A battery of emf \(E\) V and internal resistance \(0.5\ \Omega\) supplies two appliances that are connected in parallel: a heater and a motor. The heater draws a current of \(5\ \text{A}\) and the motor draws \(2\ \text{A}\). The terminal voltage across the appliances is measured to be \(12\ \text{V}\).\n\n(a) Determine the emf \(E\) of the battery (in volts).\n\n(b) Find the resistance of the heater (in \(\Omega\)).\n\n(c) Calculate the efficiency of the battery, defined as the ratio of the total power delivered to the appliances to the total power developed by the battery (express your answer as a percentage to one decimal place).

Answer Options

A. E = 14.0 \ \text{V}; heater resistance = 2.0 \ \Omega; efficiency = 70.0\%
B. E = 15.5 \ \text{V}; heater resistance = 2.8 \ \Omega; efficiency = 75.0\%
C. E = 16.2 \ \text{V}; heater resistance = 3.0 \ \Omega; efficiency = 80.5\%
Correct Answer D. E = 15.5 \ \text{V}; heater resistance = 2.4 \ \Omega; efficiency = 77.4\%
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
E = 15.5 \ \text{V}; heater resistance = 2.4 \ \Omega; efficiency = 77.4\%
