A storage battery of emf 80V and internal resistance 0.5Omega is being charged by a 120 V dc supply using a series resistor of 15.5Omega. What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging ? What is the purpose of having a series resistor in the charging circuit ? |
| Answer» Solution :81.25 V, the series resistor LIMITS the CURRENT DRAWN from the external source. In its absence, the current will be dangerously high | |
