In the given circuit, the current flowing through the resistance 20Ω is 0 . 3A , while the ammeter reads 0 . 9A . The

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

In the given circuit, the current flowing through the resistance 20Ω is 0 . 3A , while the ammeter reads 0 . 9A . The

Given, i1=0.3A,i1+i2+i3=0.9A{i}_{1} = 0 . 3A, {i}_{1} + {i}_{2} + {i}_{3} = 0 . 9A

So, VAB=i1×20Ω=0.3×20V=6V{V}_{AB} = {i}_{1} \times 20Ω = 0 . 3 \times 20V = 6V

i2=6V15Ω=25A{i}_{2} = \dfrac{6V}{15Ω} = \dfrac{2}{5}A

Now,

i1+i2+i3=910A{i}_{1} + {i}_{2} + {i}_{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}A

⇒310+25+i3=910⇒ \dfrac{3}{10} + \dfrac{2}{5} + {i}_{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}

⇒710+i3=910⇒ \dfrac{7}{10} + {i}_{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}

⇒i3=0.2A⇒ {i}_{3} = 0 . 2A

So, i3×R1=6V{i}_{3} \times {R}_{1} = 6V

⇒(0.2)R1=6⇒ ( 0 . 2 ) {R}_{1} = 6

⇒R1=60.2=30Ω⇒ {R}_{1} = \dfrac{6}{0 . 2} = 30Ω
