The plot of the variation of potential difference across a combination of three identical cells in series, versus current is shown below. What is the emf and internal resistance of each cell ?
उत्तर १
Let E and r be the EMF and internal resistance of all cells respectively and e and r' be the EMF and internal resistance of each cell respectively.
As we know,
According to the definition of the terminal potential difference,
V = E − Ir
E is the EMF and r is the total internal resistance of the circuit.
I = 0 ⇒ V = E
From the graph we can see
E = 6 V
As there are three cells we can write,
E = 3 × e ⇒ e = 2 V
And, when, V = 0
⇒ E = Ir
`r=E/T=6/1=6Omega`
As per the question the cells are connected in the series, so we can write.
`r'=r/3=2Omega`
उत्तर २
Since there are three cells connected in series, Total EMF = E1 + E2 + E3
We can observe from the graph that,
E1 + E2 + E3 = 6
3E = 6 (E = E1 = E2 = E3, as they are identical cells)
hence, The EMF of each cell is 2Volt.
Now, similarly, the internal resistance is also 2 Ohm for each, because in series combination of cells not only the Emf the internal resistance also gets added up.

The earth’s surface has a negative surface charge density of 10−9 C m−2. The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth’s surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges, namely the continual thunderstorms and lightning in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth = 6.37 × 106 m.)
