With same emf of 10 V, a combination of two batteries with different internal resistances of 20 ohm and 5 ohm, is attached to parallel combination of 30 ohm and R ohm. Find value of R.

As per the given question, the following can be represented:

  • The emf of two batteries = 10 V
  • Internal resistances of Two batteries = 20 Ω and 5 Ω
  • Parallel combination = 30 Ω and R Ω.
  • Voltage Difference across the battery of internal resistance 20 Ω = zero

Parallel Combination of Resistors

Parallel Combination of Resistors

Now, in order to determine the value of R:

E1 = E – ir

E2 = E – ir

= 10 – i20 = 0

= 10 – 0.5 × 5

i = 0.5 A

= 7.5 V

Thus,

Enet = E1 + E2 = 7.5 V

⇒ i = i1 + i2 

⇒ 0.5 = (7.5/x) + (7.5/30)

⇒ R = 30 Ω

    A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.

            Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
            A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.

                An astronomical telescope consists of two converging lenses. One of them of large aperture and large focal length is called objective lens and the other one, of smaller focal length and smaller aperture is called the eyepiece. It is used to see distant objects which are not seen clearly with naked eyes. The image formed by the objective lens acts as an object for the eyepiece and the final image produced by the eyepiece is magnified.
