A battery with 10V emf and 3 internal resistance is connected to a resistor with current 0.5A.What is the terminal voltage when the circuit is closed?

When current is drawn from a cell, the potential difference between a cell’s electrodes, when current is drawn is known as its Terminal Voltage. As per the given question, the following can be expressed:

The E.M.F of battery = 10 V
The internal resistance, r = 3 $\Omega$
Current, I = 0.5A
Resistance = R

According to Ohm’s law, we can obtain:

$I = {{E} \over (R + r)}$

Therefore, R = 17 $\Omega$

Terminal voltage of resistor = V

Now, as per what Ohm’s Law specifies,

V = I $\times$ R

Hence, Voltage, V = 8.5 V

Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.

An astronomical telescope consists of two converging lenses. One of them of large aperture and large focal length is called objective lens and the other one, of smaller focal length and smaller aperture is called the eyepiece. It is used to see distant objects which are not seen clearly with naked eyes. The image formed by the objective lens acts as an object for the eyepiece and the final image produced by the eyepiece is magnified.
