Four cells, each of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$, are connected in series across an external resistance $R$. By mistake, one of the cells is connected in reverse. Then the current in the external circuit is

  • A
    $\frac{2 E}{4 r+R}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 E}{4 r+R}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 E}{3 r+R}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 E}{3 r+R}$

Two identical cells give the same current through an external resistance of $2 \Omega$ regardless of whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel. The internal resistance of each cell is: (in $\Omega$)

Two cells of emf $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ are joined in opposition (such that $E_{1} > E_{2}$). If $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ are the internal resistances and $R$ is the external resistance,then the terminal potential difference across the external resistance $R$ is:

There are a large number of cells available,each marked $(6 \,V, 0.5 \,\Omega)$,to be used to supply current to a device of resistance $0.75 \,\Omega$,requiring $24 \,A$ current. How should the cells be arranged so that power is transmitted to the load using the minimum number of cells?
