Current Electricity 2 Question 9

9. In the given circuit, the internal resistance of the 18V cell is negligible. If R1=400Ω,R3=100Ω and R4=500Ω and the reading of an ideal voltmeter across R4 is 5V, then the value of R2 will be

(b) 230Ω

(c) 300Ω

(d) 450Ω

Solution:

  1. According to question, the voltage across R4 is 5 volt, then the current across it

According to Ohm’s law,

V=IR5=I1×R45=I1×500I1=5500=1100A

The potential difference across series combination of R3 and R4

V2=(R3+R4)I=600×1100=6 Volt

So, potential difference (across R1 )

V1=186=12V

Current through R1 is,

I=V1R1=12400=3100A

So current through R2 is,

I2=II1=31001100A=2100A

Now, from V=IR, we have,

R2=V2I2=6(2/100)=300Ω
