As given in the question,
Ig=0
Potential drop across R will be equal to 2V.
Now, current through the left circuit can be written as,
I=400+R10.
Therefore, potential drop across R will be,
VR=IR⇒2=400+R10R⇒800+2R=10R⇒R=100Ω

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (Radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as :
