A \(12\ \text{V}\) battery with internal resistance \(r\) supplies a circuit containing two resistors, \(R_1 = 4\ \Omega\) and an unknown \(R_2\), connected in parallel. The total current drawn from the battery is \(3.0\ \text{A}\). When a second identical \(12\ \text{V}\) battery (same internal resistance \(r\)) is connected in series with the first, the total current rises to \(4.5\ \text{A}\). Determine the values of \(R_2\) (in \(\Omega\), to the nearest whole number) and the internal resistance \(r\) (in \(\Omega\), to two decimal places).

Answer Options

A. R2 = 8 Ω, r = 1.00 Ω
B. R2 = 10 Ω, r = 1.50 Ω
C. R2 = 6 Ω, r = 1.33 Ω
Correct Answer D. R2 = 8 Ω, r = 1.33 Ω
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
R2 = 8 Ω, r = 1.33 Ω
