The emfs of three cells connected in parallel are $E_1=5 \ V, E_2=8 \ V$ and $E_3=10 \ V$ and their internal resistances are $r_1=1 \ \Omega, r_2=2 \ \Omega$ and $r_3=3 \ \Omega$,respectively. By changing $E_3$ to $E_{3N}$,the equivalent emf is doubled. Then $E_{3N}$ in $V$ is:

The current provided by a battery is maximum when:

Two identical cells,when connected either in parallel or in series,give the same current in an external resistance of $5\,\Omega$. The internal resistance of each cell will be $.............\,\Omega$.

When an external resistance of $5\text{ }\Omega$ is connected across the terminals of a cell,a current of $0.25\text{ A}$ flows through it. When the $5\text{ }\Omega$ resistor is replaced by a $2\text{ }\Omega$ resistor,a current of $0.5\text{ A}$ flows through it. The internal resistance of the cell is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

Two cells,having the same $e.m.f.$ $E$,are connected in series through an external resistance $R$. The cells have internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ respectively. When the circuit is closed,the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of $R$ is
