Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In series, \(i_{1} = \frac{2E}{6+2r}\)
In parallel, \(i_{2} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(i_{1} = i_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2E}{6+2r} = \frac{E}{6 + \frac{r}{2}}\)
\(12+r = 6+2r\)
\(\Rightarrow r = 6\Omega\)
