Two equal resistances, 400 Omegaeach, are connected in series with a 8 V battery. If the resistance of first one increases by 0.5%, the change required in the resistance of the second one in order to keep the potential difference across it unaltered is to

Answer»

increase it by 1`OMEGA`
increase it by 2`Omega`
increase it by 4`Omega`
decrease it by 4`Omega`

SOLUTION :CaseI:
VOLTAGEACROSS`R_1or R_2`
`V_1=V_2=( 400 xx 8 )/( 800)= 4V `
Case II :
` R_1 . = R_1 + ( 0.5%)xx R_1 = 420Omega`
` V_(1) .=(8 )/( R_1 . +R_2.) xx R_2.`
`implies4 = (8)/( 402+R_2.) xx R_2 .`
`implies402+R_2 .= 2 R_2.implies R_2 . =402Omega `
` DeltaR_2 =R_2. -R_2=402- 400= 2Omega `
