Step 1:
\The emf of the battery is 8V.
The internal resistance of the battery is .
Two coils of their resistances connected in parallel.
Draw a circuit with above specifications :
\
Step 2:
\Find the equivalent resistance :
\Resistor parallel.
Let is equivalent parallel resistance.
Now is in series with the internal resistance of the battery.
Step 3:
\Find the current in the circuit :
\From ohms law : .
Substitute .
Step 4:
\(1)
\Suppose that the battery with emf and internal resistance
supplies a current
through an external load resistor
, then the potential difference across the battery is
.
Substitute , and
in
.
The potential difference across battery terminal is .
Step 5:
\(2)
\The voltage in the parallel loop is .
The voltage in the parallel loop same.
\So, the voltage across each coil is same.
\Current through the coil which has resistance .
From ohms law : .
Current through the coil which has resistance .
From ohms law : .
Step 6:
\(3)
\Power observed by each coil :
\Power can be calculated using the relation : .
Where is power absorbed,
is current through the coil,
resistance of the coil.
Power absorbed by the coil is
Power absorbed by the coil is
Solution:
\The potential difference across battery terminal is .
Current through the coil is
.
Current through the coil is
.
Power absorbed by the coil is 4.98 W.
Power absorbed by the coil is 3.32 W.
