An ideal battery sends a current of 5A in a resistor. When another resistor of value 10Ω is connected in parallel, the current through the battery is increased to 6A. find the resistance of the first resistor. Posted: 19-08-2022 Answer:- R1=R, i1=5A R2=10+R10R, i2=6A Since probable constant, i1R1=i2R2 ⇒5×R=10+R6×10R ⇒(10+R)5=60 ⇒5R=10⇒R=2Ω
