उत्तर
i.
The parallel combination of two resistors 4 Ω and 6 Ω that draws a current of 0.5 A from the cell is as shown below.
ii.
In parallel combination of resistors potential difference across each resistor is same as the potential difference across the terminals of the battery.
Here current drawn from cell, I = 0.5 A
The effective resistance `1/R=1/R_1+1/R_2`
Here R1=4Ω and R2=6Ω
`therefore 1/R=1/4+1/6`
`therefore 1/R=5/12`
`therefore R=12/5`
`therefore R=2.4 Omega`
