Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{E}_{1} =\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{ir}\) \(=10-\mathrm{i} \times20=0\)

\(\mathrm{i}=0.5 \mathrm{A}\)

\(\mathrm{E}_{2}=\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{ir}\)

\(=10-0.5 \times 5\) \(=7.5 \mathrm{V}\)

\(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{net}}=\mathrm{E}_{1}+\mathrm{E}_{2}=7.5 \mathrm{V}\)

\(\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{1}+\mathrm{i}_{2}\)

\(0.5=\frac{7.5}{x}+\frac{7.5}{30}\)

\(\mathrm{x}=30 \Omega\)
