Two cells are connected between points AA and BB as shown. Cell 1 has emf of 12V12V and internal resistance of 3Ω3Ω. Cell 2 has emf of 6V6V and internal resistance of 6Ω6Ω. An external resistor RR of 4Ω4Ω is connected across AA and BB. The current flowing through RR will be ______ AA.

Two cells are connected between points A and B as shown. Cell 1 has emf of 12V and internal resistance of 3Ω . Cell 2

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Two cells are connected between points A and B as shown. Cell 1 has emf of 12V and internal resistance of 3Ω . Cell 2

Equivalent internal resistance of two cells in parallel is req=r1r2r1+r2=3×63+6=2Ω{r}_{eq} = \dfrac{{r}_{1}{r}_{2}}{{r}_{1} + {r}_{2}} = \dfrac{3 \times 6}{3 + 6} = 2Ω

Equivalent emf of given cells

Eeq=(E1r1−E2r2)req=(123−66)2=6V{E}_{eq} = \left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{r}_{1}} - \dfrac{{E}_{2}}{{r}_{2}}\right){r}_{eq} = \left(\dfrac{12}{3} - \dfrac{6}{6}\right)2 = 6V

Given: R=4ΩR = 4Ω

The circuit can be redrawn as shown below.

Two cells are connected between points A and B as shown. Cell 1 has emf of 12V and internal resistance of 3Ω . Cell 2

Current through resistor RR is I=62+4=1AI = \dfrac{6}{2 + 4} = 1A.
