Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The potential difference between point A and B is 50V.
  2. Emf is 48V.
  3. The point Bis connected at the negative terminal of X.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

Current i=1A

R=2ΩP=50W

02

Determining the concept

Use Ohm’s law to find the emf between the terminals and using equation of power, we can find the potential difference between the terminals.

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Formulae are as follow:

V=iRP=iV

Where, i is current, V is voltage, R is resistance, P is power.

03

(a) Determining the potential difference between points A and B.

The potential difference between points A and B:

If i is the current flowing and ΔVis the potential difference between points A and B then the power absorbed is given by,

P=iΔVΔV=PiΔV=50W1AΔV=50V

Since the energy of the charge decreases from point A to point B, the point A is at higher potential than point B.

The difference is VA-VB=50V

Hence, the potential difference between point A and B is 50V.

04

(b) Determining the Emf of  X

Emf of X :

The potential difference between point A and B is,

ΔV=VA-VB=iR+ε

Hence,

ε=50V-iRε=50V-(1A)(2Ω)ε=48V

Hence, the Emf is 48V.

05

(c) Determining whether point B is connected at the positive terminal of X or to its negative terminal

Since ε is positive and the current is toward right, B is connected to the negative terminal and A is to the positive terminal.

Hence, the point Bis connected at the negative terminal of X.

Therefore, using Ohm’s law, find the emf between the terminals. And using power equation, find the potential difference between the terminals.
