    A cell of emf E and internal resistance r is connected in series with an external resistance nr. Then the ratio of the terminal potential difference to emf is

    A)  \[(1/n)\]

    B)  \[1/(n+1)\]

    C)  \[n/(n+1)\]

    D)  \[(n+1)/n\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[I=\frac{E}{r+nr}\] \[=\frac{E}{r(n+1)}\] \[V=E-Ir\] \[=E-\frac{E}{r(n+1)}r=\frac{nE}{n+1}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{V}{E}=\frac{n}{n+1}\]
