Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i=\frac{2 \varepsilon}{5+2 r}........(1)\)

\(i=\frac{\varepsilon}{\frac{r}{2}+5}.........(2)\)

Equating \((1)\) and \((2)\)

\(\frac{2 \varepsilon}{5+2 r }=\frac{\varepsilon}{\frac{ r }{2}+5} \Rightarrow r +10=5+2 r\)

\(r=5\)
