A cell of emf 10 V and internal resistance 0.5 Ω is being changed by 2A current as shown in figure. Then chemical energy is stored in the cell at the rate of
Potential difference between the terminals of the cell, V = (10 - 2 x 0.5) volt = 9 volt.
Rate at which chemical energy is stored = Vi = 9 x 2 W= 18 W.
