A cell of e.m.f. 1.5V and internal resistance 1.0\(\Omega\) is connected to two resistor of resistance 2.0\(\Omega\) and 3.0\(\Omega\) in series. Calculate the current through the resistors

  • A. 0.25A
  • B. 0.30A
  • C. 0.35A
  • D. 0.50A

Correct Answer: A. 0.25A

Explanation

I = \(\frac{E}{R + r} = \frac{1.5}{5 + 1}\)

= \(\frac{1.5}{6} = 0.25A\)
