JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 8th January Evening Slot - No. 20)

The series combination of two batteries, both of the same emf 10 V, but different internal resistance of 20$$\Omega $$ and 5$$\Omega $$, is connected to the parallel combination of two resistors 30$$\Omega $$ and R $$\Omega $$. The voltage difference across the battery of internal resistance 20$$\Omega $$ is zero, the value of R (in $$\Omega $$) is : _______
Answer
30

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 8th January Evening Slot Physics - Current Electricity Question 224 English Explanation

10 – I × 20 = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$ I = 0.5A

Also,

I = $${{10 + 10} \over {20 + 5 + {{30R} \over {30 + R}}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 2}$$ = $${{20} \over {25 + {{30R} \over {30 + R}}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 40 = 25 + $${{{30R} \over {30 + R}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 15 = $${{{30R} \over {30 + R}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 30 + R = 2R

$$ \Rightarrow $$ R = 30 $$\Omega $$
