Question
On increasing the current drawn from a cell, the net potential difference across its terminals is lowered, why?
✓
Answer
The terminal potential difference V = E - Ir.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.
Clearly if I is increased, the terminal potential difference falls.

The wavelength of $\text{K}_\alpha$ X-ray of tungsten is 21.3pm. It takes 11.3keV to knock out an electron from the L shell of a tungsten atom. What should be the minimum accelerating voltage across an X-ray tube having tungsten target which allows production of $\text{K}_\alpha$ X-ray?
→Figure shows a circular wheel of radius $10.0\ cm$ whose upper half, shown dark in the figure, is made of iron and the lower half of wood. The two junctions are joined by an iron rod. A uniform magnetic field $B$ of magnitude $2.00 \times 10^{-4} T$ exists in the space above the central line as suggested by the figure. The wheel is set into pure rolling on the horizontal surface. If it takes $2.00$ seconds for the iron part to come down and the wooden part to go up, find the average emf induced during this period.
