Step 1:
\The emf of the 10 primary cell is 15 V.
The Load resistance connected across the cell is
.
The terminal potential difference is 12 V.
The voltage across the load is defined as .
Voltage across the load is equal to the potential difference across the terminal of the battery.
\The supplied current .
Step 2:
\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 overall internal resistance is . \ \
Internal resistance per cell is .
Step 3:
\Power in the external circuit :
\Power can be calculated using the relation : .
Where is emf of the battery, \ \
is current through the circuit,
Therefore, the power in the external circuit is 6 W.
\Solution:
\The supplied current .
Internal resistance per cell is .
the power in the external circuit is 6 W.
