$n$ equal cells,each having emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in a circuit with an external resistance $R$. If the same current flows in the circuit whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel,then:

  • A
    $R = nr$
  • B
    $R = \frac{r}{n}$
  • C
    $R = n^2r$
  • D
    $R = r$

Two batteries with different $e.m.f.$ are connected in parallel. Consider the following statements: $(i)$ The equivalent $e.m.f.$ is less than the individual $e.m.f.s$. $(ii)$ The equivalent internal resistance is less than the individual 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:
