Two cells, having the same e.m.f. are connected in series through an external resistance R . Cells have internal resistances r₁ and r₂ (r₁>r₂ ) respectively. When the circuit is closed, the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of R is:
Options
- Ar₁+r₂
- Br₁-r₂
- Cr₁+r₂ 2
- Dr₁-r₂ 2
Correct answer
B. r₁-r₂
Step-by-step solution
According to the question E-I r₁=0 and I = E+E r₁+r₂+R array l E r₁ = 2 E r₁+r₂+R r₁+r₂+R =2 r₁-r₂ R =r₁-r₂ array
