Question
An airplane black box contains a bunch of unknown resistances and batteries con- nected in unknown way such that (1) a 9 Ohm resistor across the terminals of the circuit box draws 0.80 A, and (2) an 17 Ohm resistor draws 0.50 A. What resistance will draw 0.12 A

Answer:
The unknown resistance which will draw a current of 0.12 A is 84.5 ohm
Explanation:
Let say the emf of the cell is E and internal resistance of the system is “r”
now we will have
here we have 9 ohm resistance draw current of 0.80 A
also we know that 17 ohm resistance will draw current of 0.50 A
so we will have
also we have
now when 0.12 A current is drawn across unknown resistance then we have
so we have
