Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows,each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is shown below. Each electroplaque has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25\,\Omega$. The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500\,\Omega$,the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $30$

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?
