A$4.5$
a (a) Let $V$ be the potential of the junction as shown in figure. Applying junction law, we have
or $\frac{{20 - V}}{2} + \frac{{5 - V}}{4} = \frac{{V - 0}}{2}$
or $40 -2\,V + 5 -V = 2\,V$ or $5\,V = 45 $ $==>$ $ V = 9\,V$
${i_3} = \frac{V}{2} = 4.5\,A$

The e.m.f. of a cell is $E\, volts$ and internal resistance is $r$ $ohm$. The resistance in external circuit is also $r$ $ohm$. The p.d. across the cell will be
In the circuit shown below, the cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $10\,V$ and internal resistance of $1\, ohm$. The other resistances are shown in the figure. The potential difference ${V_A} - {V_B}$ is ................ $V$
Under what conditions current passing through a resistance $R$ can be increased by short circuiting the battery of emf $E_2$. The internal resistances of the two batteries are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively
A $6\, volt$ battery of negligible internal resistance resistance is connected across a uniform wire $AB$ of length $100\,cm$. The positive terminal of another battery of $emf$ $4\,V$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega $ is joined to the point $A$ as shown in fig. Take the potential at $B$ to be zero. At which point $D$ of the wire $AB$, from left the potential is equal to the potential at $C$ ? ...................... $cm$ (approximately)
A cell of internal resistance $r$ drives current through an external resistance $R$ . The power delivered by the cell to the external resistance will be maximum when:
A uniform heating wire of resistance $36\, \Omega$ is connected across a potential difference of $240\, {V}$ The wire is then cut into half and potential difference of $240\, {V}$ is applied across each half separately. The ratio of power dissipation in first case to the total power dissipation in the second case would be $1: {x}$, where ${x}$ is........... .
