Solution
Given , E.m.f of battery , V = 15 V
Internal resistance of battery , RB = 2 Ω
Resistance given in circuit , R1 = 4 Ω
R2 = 6 Ω
(i) When resistors are connected in series ,
Equivalent resistance , R = RB + R1 + R2 = 12 Ω
Current in the circuit , I = `15/12` = 1.25 A
Now voltage across resistor R2 , V2 = IR = 1.25 × 6
V2 = 7.50 V
Time , t = 1 min = 60 sec
Energy across R2 , E = `("V"^2"t")/"R" = ((7.5)^2 xx 60)/6`
E = 562.5 J
