Step-by-step solution
4 steps9.2.1 Current delivered by the battery
Identify the known values for the section of the circuit between points a and b.
The effective resistance between points a and b is .
The voltmeter reads the potential difference across points a and b, so .Calculate the total current () flowing through the circuit using Ohm's Law for the section between a and b.
This current is the main current delivered by the battery.
The current delivered by the battery is .
9.2.2 Emf () of the battery
Calculate the total external resistance () of the circuit.
The external circuit consists of the effective resistance between a and b () in series with resistor T ().
Calculate the EMF () of the battery using the formula , where is the internal resistance.
The EMF of the battery is .
9.2.3 Resistance of N
The resistance of N is .
Reason: Resistors M and N are connected in series between points a and b. The total voltage across this series combination is . Voltmeter measures the voltage across resistor M, which is . In a series circuit, the sum of individual voltages equals the total voltage, so . Since the voltage across M () is equal to the voltage across N (), and the current through series resistors is the same, their resistances must be equal (). Given that the effective resistance of the series combination is , it follows that .
