AI Thread Summary
Negligible resistance indicates that a battery functions as an ideal DC voltage source, maintaining a constant voltage at its terminals regardless of the current drawn. The initial answer of 6J is incorrect. The correct answer is 4J, as confirmed in the discussion. This highlights the importance of understanding the implications of negligible resistance in electrical circuits. The conversation emphasizes clarity in interpreting voltage and power calculations.

Negligible resistance means that the battery is a perfect source of DC voltage. The voltage at it's terminals is constant regardless of the current drawn.ellieee said:
The answer is not 6J.

Here is what I tried
This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances.
The answer was 1D.
My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance)
My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0
The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct.
(i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface
(ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not?
(iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
