A cell of e.m.f. 1.5V and internal resistance of 2.5Ω is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.5W and a resistor of resistance of 7.0Ω. Calculate the current in the circuit.

  • A. 0.15A
  • B. 0.20A
  • C. 2.10A
  • D. 3A

Correct Answer: A. 0.15A

Explanation

I =\(\frac{E}{R+r} = \frac{1.5}{2.5+0.5+7}\) = 0.15A
