Answer:
- The emf of the generator is 6V
- The internal resistance of the generator is 1 Ω
Explanation:
Given;
terminal voltage, V = 5.7 V, when the current, I = 0.3 A
terminal voltage, V = 5.1 V, when the current, I = 0.9 A
The emf of the generator is calculated as;
E = V + Ir
where;
E is the emf of the generator
r is the internal resistance
First case:
E = 5.7 + 0.3r -------- (1)
Second case:
E = 5.1 + 0.9r -------- (2)
Since the emf E, is constant in both equations, we will have the following;
5.1 + 0.9r = 5.7 + 0.3r
collect similar terms together;
0.9r - 0.3r = 5.7 - 5.1
0.6r = 0.6
r = 0.6/0.6
r = 1 Ω
Now, determine the emf of the generator;
E = V + Ir
E = 5.1 + 0.9x1
E = 5.1 + 0.9
E = 6 V
C) Oxygen and hydrogen share electrons with each other.
The law of conservation of energy states that in any reaction, energy cannot be created or destroyed.
In other words, energy has to be conserved in every reaction.
