A battery of emf \(E\) and internal resistance \(r = 0.50\ \Omega\) supplies a circuit consisting of three external resistors: \(R_{1}=5.0\ \Omega\) in one branch, and \(R_{2}=4.0\ \Omega\) and \(R_{3}=6.0\ \Omega\) in series in a second branch. The two branches are connected in parallel across the battery terminals. The current in the branch containing \(R_{1}\) is twice the current in the branch containing \(R_{2}\) and \(R_{3}\). The total power dissipated in the three external resistors is \(200\ \text{W}\). Determine the emf \(E\) of the battery.

Answer Options

A. E ≈ 2.0×10¹ V (≈ 20 V)
Correct Answer B. E ≈ 2.97×10¹ V (≈ 29.7 V)
C. E ≈ 3.2×10¹ V (≈ 32 V)
D. E ≈ 2.5×10¹ V (≈ 25 V)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
E ≈ 2.97×10¹ V (≈ 29.7 V)
