QJEEM19Ph9881: JEE Main 2019 Physics - Class 12 JEEM19Ph9881 Solution: In the given circuit the the internal resistance of the 18 V…
In the given circuit the the internal resistance of the 18 V cell is negligible. If R1 = 400 , R3 = 100 and R4 = 500 and the reading of an ideal voltmeter across R4 is 5V, then the value of R2 will be :
Multiple Choice Options
- A 300 Ω
- B 450 Ω
- C 550 Ω
- D 230 Ω
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Voltage accross resistance R4 = 5 V
IR4 = 5 V
500 I = 5
I = A
Voltage across resistor R3 = = 1 A
Total drop in resistance R3 and R4 = 5 + 1 = 6V
So, voltage accross R2 resistance is also 6V as R3, R4 and R2 are in parallel
Voltage accross R1 resistor R1 resistor = 18 6 = 12 V
Current through R1 resistor = = A
Current through R2 resistor
=
= A
R2 = 6
R2 = 300
So, voltage accross R2 resistance is also 6V as R3, R4 and R2 are in parallel
