What is the terminal voltage of a large 1.54 V carbon-zinc dry cell used in a physics lab to supply 2.00 A to a circuit, if the cell's internal resistance is 0.100 ohm's? How much electircal power does the cell produce?

  1. V=IR

    V=2.00 A *  0.100 ohm's

    V=0.2 V

    total V = 1.54 V - lost V (0.2 V)

    = 1.34 Volts

    so POWER = VI  = 1.34 V * 2A = 2.68 WATTS

    P.S.

    the guy below me is wrong, even his formula/rule is wrong.


  2. DC Power = Volts x Amps.  The internal resistance isn't important to the answer of this question.
