Two cells are connected in opposition as shown. Cell $E_1$ has an electromotive force (emf) of $8 \ V$ and an internal resistance of $2 \ \Omega$; cell $E_2$ has an emf of $2 \ V$ and an internal resistance of $4 \ \Omega$. The terminal potential difference of cell $E_2$ is: (in $V$)

Two cells of internal resistance $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ and of the same emf are connected in series across a resistor of resistance $R$. If the terminal potential difference across the cell of internal resistance $r_{1}$ is zero,then the value of $R$ is

Two cells,each of $e.m.f.$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in parallel across an external resistor $R$. The maximum energy delivered to the resistor occurs when:

$A$ battery consists of $5$ rows of cells,each row containing $10$ cells in series. This battery is connected in parallel to an external resistor of $20 \,\Omega$. If each cell has an $emf$ of $1.5 \,V$ and an internal resistance of $1 \,\Omega$,what is the current $i$ flowing through the external resistor (in $,A$)?

The number of dry cells,each of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\,V$ and internal resistance $0.5\,\Omega$,that must be joined in series with a resistance of $20\,\Omega$ so as to send a current of $0.6\,A$ through the circuit is:
