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

              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.
