Value must $R$ have if the current in the circuit is to be $1.0 \mathrm{~mA}$ ? Take $8_{1}=2.0 \mathrm{~V}, \mathscr{8}_{2}=3.0 \mathrm{~V},$ and $r_{1}=r_{2}=$ $3.0 \Omega .$ (b) What is the rate at which thermal energy appears in $R ?$
Two resistances $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{2}$ have effective resistance $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{s}}$ when connected in sires combination and $R_{p}$ when connected in parallel combination if $\mathrm{R}_{8} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}=16$ and $\left(\mathrm{R}_{1} / \mathrm{R}_{2}\right)=4$ the values of $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{2}$ are (A) $2 \Omega$ and $0.5 \Omega$ (B) $1 \Omega$ and $0.25 \Omega$ (C) $8 \Omega$ and $2 \Omega$ (D) $4 \Omega$ and $1 \Omega$
Let, $\varphi_{A}-\varphi_{B}=\varphi$ Now, thermal power generated in the resistance $R_{x}$ $$ P=i^{\prime 2} R_{x}=\left[\frac{\varphi}{R_{1}+\frac{R_{2} R_{x}}{R_{2}+R_{x}}} \frac{R_{2}}{R_{2}+R_{x}}\right]^{2} R_{x} $$ For $P$ to be independent of $R_{x}$ $$ \begin{aligned} &\frac{d P}{d R_{x}}=0, \text { which yeilds } \\ &R_{x}=\frac{R_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}=12 \Omega \end{aligned} $$
