If the potential difference across the internal resistance \(r_{1}\) is equal to the \(\operatorname{emf} E\) of the battery, then


  1. A \(R=r_{1}+r_{2}\)
  2. B \(R=\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\)
  3. C \(R=r_{1}-r_{2}\)
  4. D \(R=\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}^{*}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(R=r_{1}-r_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total emf of circuit, \(E_{T}=E+E=2 E\) Total resistance of circuit, \(R_{T}=r_{1}+r_{2}+R\) Current flowing through the circuit, \(i=\frac{E_{T}}{R_{T}}=\frac{2 E}{r_{1}+r_{2}+R}...(i)\) As per question \(E=i r_{1}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad i=\frac{E}{r_{1}}...(ii)\) From Eqs. (i)…
