Two cells of internal resistance $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ and of the same emf are connected in series across a resistor of resistance $R$. If the terminal potential difference across the cell of internal resistance $r_{1}$ is zero,then the value of $R$ is

  • A
    $R=2r_{1}+r_{2}$
  • B
    $R=r_{2}-r_{1}$
  • C
    $R=r_{1}-r_{2}$
  • D
    $R=2r_{1}-r_{2}$

Two cells of emf $1 \ V$ and $2 \ V$ and internal resistance $2 \ \Omega$ and $1 \ \Omega$,respectively,are connected in series with an external resistance of $6 \ \Omega$. The total current in the circuit is $I_1$. Now the same two cells in parallel configuration are connected to the same external resistance. In this case,the total current drawn is $I_2$. The value of $\left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right)$ is $\frac{x}{3}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
