A cell of e.m.f. 1.5 V and internal resistance of 2.59 is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.59 and a resistor of resistance 7.09. Calculate the current in the circuit.

  • A. 0.15 A
  • B. 0.20 A
  • C. 0.60A
  • D. 3.00A

Correct Answer: A. 0.15 A

Explanation

I = E/R + r = 1.5/2.5 + 0.5 + 7 = 0.15
