A cell of emf 1.5V is connected in series with a 1Ω resistor and a current of 0.3A flows through the resistor. Find the internal resistance of the cell

A.

4.0Ω

B.

3.0Ω

C.

1.5Ω

D.

1.0Ω

Correct answer is A

r = \(\frac{E}{I} - R\)

r = \(\frac{1.5}{0.3} - 1\)

r = 4\(\Omega\)

Calculate the force acting on an electron of charge 1.5 x 10-19C placed in an electric field of intensity 105Vm-1

A.

1.5x10-11N

B.

1.5x10-12N

C.
