$A$ resistance $R$ is connected to $n$ identical cells. If the current in the resistance is the same whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel,then the internal resistance $r$ of each cell is:

  • A
    $r = R/n$
  • B
    $r = nR$
  • C
    $r = R$
  • D
    $r = 1/R$

When an external resistance of $5\text{ }\Omega$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, a current of $0.25\text{ A}$ flows through it. When the $5\text{ }\Omega$ resistor is replaced by a $2\text{ }\Omega$ resistor, a current of $0.5\text{ A}$ flows through it. The internal resistance of the cell is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

What is called the internal resistance of a cell?

Two sources of equal $emf$ $(\varepsilon)$ are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are $R_1$ and $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance $R_2$ is zero, then:
