Question

An ideal battery sends a current of $5 A$ in a resistor. When another resistor of value $10 Ω$ is connected in parallel, the current through the battery is increased to $6 A$ . find the resistance of the first resistor.

Open in App

Solution

$R_{1} = R, i_{1} = 5 A$

$R_{2} = \frac{10 R}{10 + R}, i_{2} = 6 A$

Since potential constant,
$i_{1} R_{1} = i_{2} R_{2}$

$\Rightarrow 5 \times R = \frac{6 \times 10 R}{10 + R}$

$\Rightarrow (10 + R) 5 = 60$

$\Rightarrow 5 R = 10 \Rightarrow R = 2 Ω$

An ideal battery sends a current of $5 A$ in a resistor. When another resistor of value $10 Ω$ is connected in parallel, the current through the battery is increased to $6 A$ . find the resistance of the first resistor.

$R_{1} = R, i_{1} = 5 A$

$R_{2} = \frac{10 R}{10 + R}, i_{2} = 6 A$

Since potential constant,
$i_{1} R_{1} = i_{2} R_{2}$

$\Rightarrow 5 \times R = \frac{6 \times 10 R}{10 + R}$

$\Rightarrow (10 + R) 5 = 60$

$\Rightarrow 5 R = 10 \Rightarrow R = 2 Ω$
