Refer to the circuit diagram given below. The heat generated across the resistance in second is J. The value of is _______. (Nearest integer)

Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Taking the right-hand wire as the reference node at , let the left junction (where the , and resistors meet) be Node A at potential .
Bottom branch: The positive terminal of the battery is at the reference, so its negative terminal (and hence the left end of the resistor) is at .
Top branch: The positive terminal of the battery is at the reference, so its negative terminal (and hence the node between the resistor and the battery) is at .
Applying KCL at Node A (sum of currents leaving the node is zero):
Multiplying throughout by :
Current through the resistor (from Node A towards the point):
Heat generated in the resistor in :
Given :
Rounding to the nearest integer:
Hence, the answer is .
