Question

The series combination of two batteries both of the same emf 10 V ,  but different internal resistance of 20Ω and 5Ω  is connected to the parallel combination of two resistors 25Ω and R Ω .The voltage difference across the battery of internal resistance 20 Ω is zero . The value of Rin Ω is,  

 

Moderate
Solution

For 10 V, 20Ω battery :   V1= ε1ir1 0=10i×20 i=0.5A  For 10 V, 5Ω battery :  V2= ε2i r2 =100.5×5=7.5V  The potential difference across all three branches is equal. V = V1 + V2  = 0 + 7.5 = 7.5 V  Now, i = i1 + i2 0.5 = 7.525 +7.5R 0.5=0.3+7.5R 0.2=7.5R R = 7.50.2=37.5Ω
