Question 313: Current Electricity

Question

Two cells of emf 2E and E with internal resistance r
1
and r
2
respectively are connected in series to an external resistor R (see figure). The value of R, at which the potential difference across the terminals of the first cell becomes zero is

Accepted Answer

$$l = {{3E} \over {R + {r_1} + {r_2}}}$$
$${V_A} = {V_B}$$
$$2E = i\,{r_1}$$
$$2E = {{3E} \over {R + {r_1} + {r_2}}}{r_1}$$
$$2R + 2{r_1} + 2{r_2} = 3{r_1}$$
$$R = {{{r_1}} \over 2} - {r_2}$$

Answer

r
1
$$-$$ r
2

Answer

$${{{r_1}} \over 2} - {r_2}$$

Answer

$${{{r_1}} \over 2} + {r_2}$$

Answer

r
1
+ r
2
