A battery of emf \( \varepsilon = 12 \;\text{V} \) has an internal resistance \( r \). It is connected to a network consisting of a resistor \( R_3 = 8 \;\Omega \) in series with the parallel combination of \( R_1 = 4 \;\Omega \) and \( R_2 = 6 \;\Omega \). (i) Find the value of \( r \) for which the power dissipated in \( R_3 \) is exactly half the total power supplied by the battery. (ii) For that value of \( r \), calculate the current drawn from the battery.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. r = 5.6 Ω; I = 0.75 A
B. r = 5.6 Ω; I = 0.90 A
C. r = 4.0 Ω; I = 0.85 A
D. r = 7.2 Ω; I = 0.60 A
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
r = 5.6 Ω; I = 0.75 A
