In the circuit shown all five resistors have the same value 200 ohms and each cell has an emf 3 volts. Find the open circuit voltage and the short circuit current for the terminals A and B.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
[V B – V A =21/5 = 4.2 V, I = 35/2 mA = 17.5 mA (B to A)]
Sol. E eq = 
= 4.2 V
⇒ r eq = 240 Ω Ω
short circuit current in AB
i = 
= 17.5 × 10 –3 amp
⇒ i = 17.5 mA (from B to A)
