A battery has an emf of \(15\,\text{V}\) and an internal resistance \(r\) (unknown). It is connected to a circuit consisting of a \(4\,\Omega\) resistor in series with a parallel combination of a \(6\,\Omega\) resistor and a \(12\,\Omega\) resistor. The terminal voltage across the external circuit is measured to be \(12\,\text{V}\). Determine the internal resistance \(r\) of the battery and the power dissipated in the \(12\,\Omega\) resistor (give the power in watts).

Answer Options

A. r = 2 Ω, P = 4 W
B. r = 3 Ω, P = 2 W
Correct Answer C. r = 2 Ω, P = 3 W
D. r = 1 Ω, P = 4 W
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
r = 2 Ω, P = 3 W
