10. A resistance of 10Ω is connected in series with a combination of two resistance arranged in parallel,
each of 20Ω. Calculate the value of resistance which should be shunted across the parallel
combination so that the total current drawn by the circuit is 1.5A with applied voltage of 20V, also
calculate the value of resistance which should be shunted across the supply so that the total current
drawn from first case remains same for the 20V supply.
11. A resistance of R is connected in series with a parallel circuit consisting of 15Ω & 10Ω resistance.
When a voltage of 20V is applied across the circuit,
a total power of 40W is dissipated. Find R
12. A 20V battery with internal resistance of 5Ω is
connected to a resistance of RΩ. If an additional 6Ω
resistance is connected across battery, find the value
of R so that the power supplied externally by the battery
remains same.
