1. What are the advantages of connecting batteries in: (a) series (b) parallel

2. (a) A 2 Ω resistor is connected to a 5-V power supply.

(i) What is the current through the resistor?

(ii) How much power is delivered to the resistor?

(b) A 5 V battery having delivers 0.1 A when connected to a 10 Ω load. What is the internal resistance of the battery?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

2) V=IR

So I=5/2=2.5A

Power=v^2/R=25/2=12.5W

B) R=V/I=5/0.1=50 ohms

So internal resistance=50-10=40 ohms
