JEE MAIN - Physics (2017 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 23)

JEE Main 2017 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 282 English
A 9 V battery with internal resistance of 0.5 $$\Omega $$ is connected across an infinite network as shown in the figure. All ammeters A1, A2, 3 and voltmeter V are ideal.
Choose correct statement.
Reading of A1 is 2 A
Reading of A1 is 18 A
Reading of   V   is  9 V
Reading of   V   is   7 V

Explanation

Assume equivalent resistance of the infinite network is x.

The circuit can be redrawn like this,

JEE Main 2017 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 282 English Explanation
Here 4 $$\Omega $$ and x $$\Omega $$ are parallel,

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ $${1 \over {{x_{eq}}}}$$ = $${1 \over 4}$$ + $${1 \over x}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ xeq = $${{4x} \over {4 + x}}$$

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Equivalent resistance between point A and B is ,

x = $${{4x} \over {4 + x}}$$ + 2

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ x = $$ {{8 + 6x} \over {4 + x}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ 4x + x2 = 8 + 6x

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ x2 $$-$$ 2x $$-$$ 8 = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\,\,\,$$ x = $${{2 \pm \sqrt {4 - 4\left( 1 \right)\left( { - 8} \right)} } \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$x = $${{2 \pm 6} \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ = 4 $$\Omega $$

(as negative value of x is not acceptable)

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Reading of Aonmeter, A1 = $${V \over {R + r}}$$

A1 = $${9 \over {4\,\, + 0.5}}$$ = 2 A
