JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

A \(dc\) source of \(emf \,E_1 = 100\,V\) and internal resistance \(r = 0.5\,\Omega ,\) a storage battery of emf \(E_2 = 90\,V\) and an external resistance \(R\) are connected as shown in figure. For what value of \(R\) no current will pass through the battery ? ................ \(\Omega\)

  1. A \(5.5\)
  2. B \(3.5\)
  3. C \(4.5\)
  4. D \(2.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{100}{R+r}=\frac{90}{R}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{R+r}{R}=\frac{10}{9}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 1+\frac{0.5}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{10}{9}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{0.5}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{1}{9}\) \(\therefore R=4.5 \,\Omega\)
