Question

In the circuit shown in fig. A and B are two cells of the same emf E and of internal resistances rA and rB respectively. L is an ideal inductor and C is an ideal capacitor. The key K is closed. When the current in the circuit becomes steady, what should be the value of R so that the potential difference across the terminals of cell A is zero.

A
R=rArB if rA > rB

Solution

The correct option is A R=rArB if rA > rB
At steady state the capacitor behaves like infinite resistance and inductor behaves like short. Between x and y we have a balanced wheat stone network of resistance R. The circuit at steady state is

i=2ER+rA+rB
VA=0
But
VA=EirA
E=irA
E=2ErAR+rA+rB
R+rA+rB=2rA
R=rArB(rA > rB)
