Thermal energy is to be generated in a0.10鈥坝resistor at the rate of10Wby connecting the resistor to a battery whose emf is1.5V. (a) What potential difference must exist across the resistor? (b) What must be the internal resistance of the battery?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The potential difference that must exist across the resistor is.1.0鈥塚

b) The internal resistance of the battery is.0.05

Step by step solution

01

The given data 

a) Resistance of the resistor,R=0.10 .

b) Rate of energy transferred as thermal energy,P=10鈥塛 ,

c) Emf of the battery,=1.5鈥塚 .

02

Understanding the concept of energy rate transfer 

Here, the rate of energy transferred to the resistor as thermal energy is given. Thus, using the concept, the value of the external resistance can be given. Now, the current through the battery and the resistor is equal to the closed loop rule. Thus, equating the current values will determine the internal resistance of the battery.

Formulae:

The rate at which the thermal energy is transferred,

P=V2R (i)

The voltage equation using Ohm鈥檚 law,

V=IR (ii)

Here Iis the current, and Ris the resistance.

03

a) Calculation of the potential difference across the resistor 

The potential difference across the resistor due to the rate of energy transferred as thermal energy can be given using equation (i) as follows:

V=PR

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

V=(10鈥塛)(0.10)=1.0鈥塚

Hence, the value of the potential difference is.1.0鈥塚

04

b) Calculation of the internal resistance of the battery

Now, we know that current through the resistor and the battery is equal, and thus, the internal resistance of the battery can be given using equation (ii) as follows:

iR=ibatteryVR=Vrr=(VV)R

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

r=(1.5鈥塚1.0鈥塚1.0鈥塚)0.10=0.05

Hence, the value of internal resistance is.0.05
