A battery of emf \(E\) and internal resistance \(r\) is connected to an external circuit as follows: a resistor \(R_{1}=2\ \Omega\) is in series with the parallel combination of \(R_{2}=6\ \Omega\) and \(R_{3}=12\ \Omega\). The terminal voltage across the external circuit is measured to be \(12\ \text{V}\) while the current through \(R_{1}\) is \(2\ \text{A}\). The power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery is \(4\ \text{W}\). Determine (a) the emf \(E\) of the battery, (b) the internal resistance \(r\), and (c) the power dissipated in resistor \(R_{2}\).

Answer Options

A. E = 14 V, r = 2 Ω, P_R2 ≈ 8.0 W
B. E = 13 V, r = 2 Ω, P_R2 ≈ 9.5 W
Correct Answer C. E = 14 V, r = 1 Ω, P_R2 ≈ 10.7 W
D. E = 15 V, r = 0.5 Ω, P_R2 ≈ 12.0 W
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
E = 14 V, r = 1 Ω, P_R2 ≈ 10.7 W
