Question 26

The current is drawn from a cell of emf E and internal resistance r connected to the network of resistors each of resistance r as shown in the figure. Obtain the expression for

(i) the current draws from the cell and

(ii) the power consumed in the network.

Answer

Apply Horizontal symmetry to get current,

r =  resistance of the circuit and internal resistance of r

1 / RI   = 1/r   +  1/2r   =   2+1 / 2r = 3/2 r

Or RI = 2/3r

Circuit I and II are same RII =   2/3r

Combining resistance 1/R =  1/RI   +   1/RII   =  1/2/3r  + 1/2/3r  = 2 x  1/2/3r 

⇒  1/R =  3/r

⇒  R = r/3

This circuit is in series with internal resistance,

Resultant resistance : r   +  r/3 = 4r / 3  â„¦.

Current drawn from the cell = I = 3E /4r

and power consumed by the network P = I2R =   (3E /4r )2  x  4r / 3

.= 3E2/4 r
