Given: Internal resistance of a call = 3Ω
Emf of a cell = 10 V
Length of the wire 500cm
External resistance = 3Ω
To find: Potential difference at any points on the wire separated by a distance of 100cm.
Solution:
Total resisatnce in the current = internal resiatnce + external resistance
= 3Ω + 3Ω = 6Ω
Current flowing through the circuit = V/R
= 10/6A = 5/3A
Resistance per unit length = 3/500
The Potential difference per unit length will be equal to the product of the current flowing through the circuit and the resistance per unit length.
dV/dx = current × resistance per unit length
= (5/3) × (3/500)
= 1/100 V/m
= 1×10⁻³ V/cm
The Potential difference between the points on the wire separated by a distance of 100cm will be the product of The Potential difference per unit length and distance
V = dV/dx × 100
= 1×10⁻³×100
= 0.1 V
Therefore, the Potential difference between the points on the wire separated by a distance of 100cm is 0.1 V
