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

In the given circuit the internal resistance of the \(18\,V\) cell is negligible. If \(R_1 = 400 \,\Omega ,\,R_3 = 100\,\Omega \) and \(R_4 = 500\,\Omega \) and the reading of an ideal voltmeter across \(R_4\) is \(5\,V,\) then the value of \(R_2\) will be ........... \(\Omega\)

  1. A \(300\)
  2. B \(450\)
  3. C \(550\)
  4. D \(230\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(300\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{12}{400}=\frac{6}{600}+\frac{6}{R_{2}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{200}=\frac{1}{600}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{R}_{2}=300\, \Omega\)
