The maximum power drawn out of the cell from a source is given by (where $r$ is internal resistance)

When two identical batteries of internal resistance $1 \Omega$ each are connected in series across a resistor $\mathrm{R}$, the rate of heat produced in $R$ is $J_1$. When the same batteries are connected in parallel across $R$, the rate is $\mathrm{J}_2$. If $\mathrm{J}_1=2.25 \mathrm{~J}_2$ then the value of $\mathrm{R}$ in $\Omega$ is
