$A$ resistance $R$ is connected to $n$ identical cells. If the current in the resistance is the same whether the cells are connected in series or in parallel,then the internal resistance $r$ of each cell is:

  • A
    $r = R/n$
  • B
    $r = nR$
  • C
    $r = R$
  • D
    $r = 1/R$

The circuit in the figure shows two cells connected in opposition to each other. Cell $E_1$ has an $emf$ of $6 \ V$ and an internal resistance of $2 \ \Omega$. Cell $E_2$ has an $emf$ of $4 \ V$ and an internal resistance of $8 \ \Omega$. Find the potential difference between the points $A$ and $B$.

The reading of a high resistance voltmeter when a cell is connected across it is $2.2\, V$. When the terminals of the cell are also connected to a resistance of $5\,\Omega$,the voltmeter reading drops to $1.8\, V$. Find the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$.

Electromotive force is actually not a force. What does it represent?

$A$ battery consists of $n$ rows of cells connected in parallel,with each row containing $m$ cells in series. The maximum current is obtained through an external resistance of $3 \, \Omega$. If the total number of cells is $24$ and the internal resistance of each cell is $0.5 \, \Omega$,find the values of $m$ and $n$.
