In the circuit, the total current is 60 A and the voltage is 240 V. If R1
resistance is 20 Ω, then the R2 resistance would be 5 Ω
What is resistance?
Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The SI unit of the resistance is Ohm
The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.
V=IR
where V is the voltage
I is the current
R is the resistance
For the given problem V= 240 V and I = 60 A
R = V/I
R =240/60
R =4 Ω
For calculating equivalent resistance in parallel combination.
1/Re = 1/R1 + 1/R2
1/4 = 1/20 + 1/R2
R2 = 5 Ω
Thus , the R2 resistance would be 5 Ω, therefore the correct answer is option B.
