A 10V, 1.5Ω cell is connected in series with a variable resistance R whose value can be varied from zero to 1Ω. If ‘R’ is made to gradually increase from zero to 10 Ω, power dissipated in R.

a
remains constant at 125 walt
b
first increases and then decreases upto a minimum value
c
increases continuously upto a maximum value
d
first increases upto a certain value and then remains constant

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Power consumed in the external circuit is maximum when R = internal resistance of the cell i.e. when R = 1.5 Ω. Initial power is zero and final power is 1010+1.52×10 watt.
