DC circuit network with internal resistance and external parallel branches.
DC circuit network with internal resistance and external parallel branches.
A battery with electromotive force (emf) \(\mathcal{E}\) and internal resistance \(r = R\) is connected in a circuit with four external resistors, as shown in the schematic diagram. The circuit contains an external resistor of resistance \(R\) connected in series with a parallel network. The parallel network consists of two branches: Branch A contains a single resistor of resistance \(2R\), and Branch B contains two resistors connected in series, each with resistance \(2R\). What is the electric current flowing through Branch B, in terms of \(\mathcal{E}\) and \(R\)?
