A resistance R is connected across the terminal of an electric cell of internal resistance 2Ω and the voltage was reduced to 3/5 of its nominal value.
The value of R is
A
3 Ω
B
2 Ω
C
1 Ω
D
6 Ω
correct option: a

1 = V/R = E/R+r , if r = 2Ω

V = 3/5 E

=> 3E/5R = E/R+2

i.e 3E(R+2) = 5RE

3RE + 6E = 5RE

i.e 3R + 6 = 5R

6 = 5R - 3R

=> 2r = 6 i.e R = 6/2 = 3Ω
