Figure represents a load consisting of three identical resistances connected to an electric enrgy source of emf 12 V and internal resistance `0.6Omega.` The ammeter reads 2A. The magnitude of each resistance is

A

`3.6 Omega`

B

`7.2 Omega`

C

`16.2 Omega`

D

`10.8 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`2 = (12)/((R )/(3) +0.6) or (R )/(3) +0.6 or R = 16.2 Omega`
