As shown in the figure,a group of $N$ cells is connected in series,where the $emf$ of each cell $E_n$ varies with its internal resistance $r_n$ according to the relation $E_n = 1.5 r_n$. The current $I$ in the circuit is ................ $A$.

$n$ rows,each containing $m$ cells in series,are connected in parallel. The maximum current is drawn from this combination through an external resistance of $3\, \Omega$. If the total number of cells used is $24$ and the internal resistance of each cell is $0.5\, \Omega$,then $m$ and $n$ are respectively:

In the previous problem,if the cells had been connected in parallel (instead of in series),which of the above graphs would have shown the relationship between total current $I$ and $n$ (number of cells)?

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 $V$)
