Two batteries one of the $\mathrm{emf}$ $3\,V$, internal resistance $1$ ohm and the other of $\mathrm{emf}$ $15\, V$, internal resistance $2$ $\mathrm{ohm}$ are connected in series with a resistance $R$ as shown. If the potential difference between $a$ and $b$ is zero the resistance of $R$ in $\mathrm{ohm}$ is

c Let the current $I$ will flow in the anticlockwise direction.
By $KVL,$ $15+3=(1+2+R) I$ or $I=\frac{18}{3+R}$
Here, $V_{a b}=0$
or $3-1 I=0$
or $3=I=\frac{18}{3+R}$
or $R=3 \Omega$

A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V{/^o}C$ in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance $10\; ohm$ whose sensitivity is $1\;\mu A/div$, is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be
