Problem P. 4086. (September 2008)

P. 4086. A black box has two leads. If a zero-centre ammeter and a rechargeable battery of 6 V voltage, whose internal resistance is negligible, are connected to the leads as shown in the figure, the ammeter reads 1 A. If the terminals of the battery are swapped, and connected again into he circuit, then the measured current is 0.5 A.

What is in the box?
