6. A 1500 MΩ resistor is placed across the terminals of a battery, and a terminal voltage of 2.50 V is measured. When this resistor is replaced with a 5.00 Ω resistor, the terminal voltage decreases to 1.75 V. Find the terminal voltage when a 7.00 Ω resistor is used. (1 point)

Answer:

The terminal voltage is 1.916 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance = 1500 MΩ

Voltage V= 2.50 V

Decrease voltage V' = 1.75 V

Here, The resistance is very high so the current will be zero in the terminal.

So, the potential difference will be equal to the emf.

[tex]V=2.50 = emf[/tex]

Let the internal resistance is r ohm.

We need to calculate the potential difference across internal resistance

Using formula of for potential difference

[tex]V_{r}=V-V'[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]V_{r}=2.50-1.75[/tex]

[tex]V_{r}=0.75\ V[/tex]

We need to calculate the circuit current

Using formula of current

[tex]i=\dfrac{V}{R}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]i=\dfrac{1.75}{5.00}[/tex]

[tex]i=0.35\ A[/tex]

We need to calculate the internal resistance

Using formula of internal resistance

[tex]r=\dfrac{V_{r}}{i}[/tex]

Put the value into thew formula

[tex]r=\dfrac{0.75}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]r=2.14\ ohm[/tex]

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

[tex]i=\dfrac{emf}{r+R}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]i=\dfrac{2.50}{2.14+7.00}[/tex]

[tex]i=0.273\ A[/tex]

We need to calculate the potential difference

Using formula of voltage

[tex]V_{r}=ir[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]V_{r}=0.273\times2.14[/tex]

[tex]V_{r}=0.584\ V[/tex]

We need to calculate the terminal voltage

Using formula of terminal voltage

[tex]\text{terminal voltage}=emf-V_{r}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\text{terminal voltage}=2.50-0.584[/tex]

[tex]\text{terminal voltage}=1.916\ V[/tex]

Hence, The terminal voltage is 1.916 V.
