Question:

Two sources of equal emfs are connected in series. This combination is connected to an external resistance R. The internal resistances of the two sources are r1 and r2 (r1 > r2). If the potential difference across the source of internal resistance r1 is zero, then the value of R will be :

  • \(r_1-r_2\)

  • \(\frac{r_1r_2}{r_1+r_2}\)

  • \(\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}\)

  • \(r_2-r_1\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (A) : \(r_1-r_2\)

Fig. 

\(ΔV=0 ⇒\frac{2ε}{r_1+r_2+R}r_1=ε\)
\(⇒R=r_1-r_2\)

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
