$A$ cell sends a current through a resistance $R$ for time $t$. Now the same cell sends current through another resistance $r$ for the same time. If the same amount of heat is developed in both the resistances,then the internal resistance of the cell is:

  • A
    $\frac{R+r}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{R-r}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Rr}{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{Rr}$

Two cells of emf $1 \ V$ and $2 \ V$ and internal resistance $2 \ \Omega$ and $1 \ \Omega$,respectively,are connected in series with an external resistance of $6 \ \Omega$. The total current in the circuit is $I_1$. Now the same two cells in parallel configuration are connected to the same external resistance. In this case,the total current drawn is $I_2$. The value of $\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)$ is $\frac{x}{3}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .

Two non-ideal identical batteries are connected in parallel. Consider the following statements:
$(i)$ The equivalent e.m.f. is smaller than either of the two e.m.f.s.
$(ii)$ The equivalent internal resistance is smaller than either of the two internal resistances.

$12$ cells,each having the same $emf$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series,but some cells are wrongly connected. This arrangement is connected in series with an ammeter and two additional cells (each of $emf$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$). The current is $3 \, A$ when the cells and the battery aid each other,and it is $2 \, A$ when they oppose each other. The number of cells wrongly connected is:

Two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ having equal $EMF$ $E$ and internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively are connected in series. This combination is connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the cell $E_1$ becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be

Infinite number of cells having $emf$ and internal resistance $(E, r)$,$(\frac{E}{n}, \frac{r}{n})$,$(\frac{E}{n^2}, \frac{r}{n^2})$,$(\frac{E}{n^3}, \frac{r}{n^3})$... are connected in series across an external resistance of $\frac{nr}{n+1}$. The current flowing through the external resistor is:
