List of top Physics Questions on Cells, Emf, Internal Resistance asked in CBSE Class XII

A low voltage supply from which one needs high currents must have very low internal resistance. Why ?

A battery of emf 21 V and internal resistance 3 \(\Omega\) is connected to a resistor. If the current in the circuit is 3 A, find:
(i) the resistance of the resistor, and
(ii) the terminal voltage of the battery.

Two cells of emf \(E_1\) and \(E_2\) with internal resistances \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) respectively, are connected in parallel by connecting their positive terminals together and negative terminals together. Deduce an expression for equivalent emf and equivalent internal resistance of the combination.

A parallel combination, as stated in (a) above, of two cells of emfs \(E\) and \(3E\) and internal resistances \(R\) each is connected across a resistance \(2R\). Find the current that flows through resistance \(2R\).

An electric iron rated \(2.2\,\text{kW},\,220\,\text{V}\) is operated at \(110\,\text{V}\) supply. Find: (i) its resistance, and (ii) heat produced by it in \(10\) minutes.
