An artificial satellite of Earth nears the end of its life due to air resistance. While still in orbit:

A

(a)`1Omega`

B

(b)`2Omega`

C

(c)`0.5 Omega`

D

(d)`1.5Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Series current `i_s=(2E)/(2+2r)`, In parallel current `i_p=E/(2+r/2)=(2E)/(4+r)`
As `i_s=i_p , (2E)/(2+2r(=(2E)/(4+r) implies r=2Omega`
