    The internal resistance of a primary cell is 4 ohm. It generates a current of 0.2 ampere in an external resistance of 2 ohm. The rate at which chemical energy is consumed in providing the current is

    A)  \[0.42\,J\text{/}s\]            

    B)         \[0.24\,J\text{/}s\]  

    C)  \[5\,J\text{/}s\]                

    D)         \[1\,J\text{/}s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Rate of consumption of chemical energy \[=\] Rate of generation of electrical energy \[=EI\] \[={{I}^{2}}(R+r)\] \[={{0.2}^{2}}\times 6=.24\] (Since all the options have the same \[MKS\] units, we will not bother about the units in the final answer, as we have substituted all the unknowns in their respective \[MKS\] units)
