    In the circuit shown, current (in A) through the 50 V and 30 V batteries are, respectively :

    A, B, and C are voltmeters of resistance R, 1.5R, and 3R respectively as shown in the figure. When some potential difference is applied between X and Y, the voltmeter readings are VA, VB, and VC respectively. Then:

     

    The potential difference (VA - VB) between the points A and B in the given figure is

    The emf of a dry cell depends upon the following factors:

    In the given circuit, the potential difference across the capacitor is 12 V . Each resistance is of $3 \Omega$ and the cell is ideal. The emf of the cell is:

    A cell of e.m.f volt with no internal resistance is connected to a wire whose cross section changes. The wire has three sections of equal length. The middle section has a radius , whereas the radius of the outer two sections is 2. The ratio of the potential difference across section to the potential difference across section is

    A torch bulb rated 4.5 W, 1.5 V is connected as shown in Figure. The e.m.f. of the cell needed to make the bulb glow at full intensity is

    Cell and Emf of a cell

    Cell

    The device which converts Chemical energy into electrical energy is known as an electric cell.

    • It maintains the flow of charge inside the circuit by supplying energy.

    •  The direction of flow of current:

    1.  inside the cell is from negative to positive electrode

    2.  while outside the cell is from positive to negative electrode.

    •  Electromotive force (Emf) of a cell: 

     It is the work done / energy carried by unit charge passing through one complete cycle of the circuit.

    E=W/q

    unit of emf is volt.

     The emf of cell is also known as potential difference across the terminals of a cell when it is not giving any current.

     Note-Cell is a source of constant emf but not constant current.

     

     Potential difference (V)- It is the work done / energy carried by unit charge passing through external part (excluding the cell ) of the circuit.

     

    Potential difference is equal to the product of current and resistance of that given part.

    i.e. $V_{A B}=i R$.
