22N.2.SL.TZ0.b.ii

Resistor R is connected in a circuit with a cell that has internal resistance.

The ammeter and the voltmeter are ideal.

The cell has an emf of 1.49 V. The resistance of R is 50.0 Ω. The voltmeter reads 1.47 V.

Determine the total power dissipated in the circuit.

$1.49 \times 2.94 \times 10^{- 2}$

$\frac{1 . 49^{2}}{50.0 + 0.68}$

${(2.94 \times 10^{- 2})}^{2} (50.0 + 0.68)$ ✓

$0.0438$ «W» ✓

Accept use of 0.7 Ω in MP1.

Examiners report

The calculation of total power dissipated was not usually well done, as it often failed to include the internal resistance therefore calculating the power dissipated only in the resistor.
