Question
When an ammeter of negligible internal resistance is inserted in series with circuit it reads 1A. When the voltmeter of very large resistance is connected across X it reads 1V. When the point A and are shorted by a conducting wire, the voltmeters measures 10 V across the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is equal to


Options
A.zero
B.0.5 Ω
C.0.2 Ω
D.0.1 Ω
Solution

When Y shorted I =
10 = 12 - Ir ⇒ 10 = 12 -
⇒ 10 + 10 r = 10 = 12 - 12r
⇒ 10r = 2 ⇒ r = 0.2Ω
