JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 3rd September Morning Slot - No. 23)

Model a torch battery of length $$l$$ to be made up of a thin cylindrical bar of radius ‘a’ and a concentric thin cylindrical shell of radius ‘b’ filled in between with an electrolyte of resistivity $$\rho $$ (see figure). If the battery is connected to a resistance of value R, the maximum Joule heating in R will take place for : JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Morning Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 218 English
$$R = {{2\rho } \over {\pi l}}\ln \left( {{b \over a}} \right)$$
$$R = {\rho \over {\pi l}}\ln \left( {{b \over a}} \right)$$
$$R = {\rho \over {2\pi l}}\ln \left( {{b \over a}} \right)$$
$$R = {\rho \over {2\pi l}}\left( {{b \over a}} \right)$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Morning Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 218 English Explanation

Internal resitance of battery

$$\int {dr} = \int\limits_a^b {{{\rho dr} \over {2\pi rl}}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ r = $${{\rho \over {2\pi l}}\ln {b \over a}}$$

Power in external resistance PR = $${\left( {{ \in \over {r + R}}} \right)^2}R$$

Maximum Power in external resistance is generated when it is equal to internal resistance of battery. So PR is maximum when r = R.

$$ \therefore $$ R = $${{\rho \over {2\pi l}}\ln {b \over a}}$$
