Question:

A car battery has an e.m.f. of 12 V and an internal resistance of 0.04 Ω. The starter motor draws a current of 100 A.

a. Calculate the terminal p.d. of the battery when the starter motor is in operation.

b. Each headlamp is rated as ‘12 V, 36 W’. Calculate the resistance of a headlamp.

c. To what value will the power output of each headlamp decrease when the starter motor is in operation? (Assume that the resistance of the headlamp remains constant.)
