Four cells,each of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$,are connected in series across an external resistance $R$. By mistake,one of the cells is connected in reverse. Then the current in the external circuit is

  • A
    $\frac{2 E}{4 r+R}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 E}{4 r+R}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 E}{3 r+R}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 E}{3 r+R}$

If the $EMF$ of each cell is $E = 1.5 \text{ V}$ and internal resistance is $r$, as shown in the figure, what is the current $i$ flowing through the circuit (in $\text{ A}$)?

When a battery is connected across a resistor of $16 \Omega$,the voltage across the resistor is $12 \ V$. When the same battery is connected across a resistor of $10 \Omega$,the voltage across it is $11 \ V$. The internal resistance of the battery in ohm is

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 .............. $A$.

If there are $3$ parallelly connected cells of emf $\varepsilon_1 = 1.2 \ V, \varepsilon_2 = 1.4 \ V$ and $\varepsilon_3 = 1.5 \ V$ and of internal resistances $r_1 = 0.1 \ \Omega, r_2 = 0.2 \ \Omega$ and $r_3 = 0.3 \ \Omega$,then find $\frac{\varepsilon_{eq}}{r_{eq}} = $ . . . . . . $V \Omega^{-1}$.

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)?
