b (b) Let the current in the circuit $ = i = \frac{V}{R}$
Across the cell, $E = V + ir$ $ \Rightarrow $ $r = \frac{{E - V}}{i} = \frac{{E - V}}{{V/R}} = \left( {\frac{{E - V}}{V}} \right)\,R$

Two cells, having the same $e.m.f.$ are connected in series through an external resistance $R.$ 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
A resistor dissipates $192\, {J}$ of energy in $1\, {s}$ when a current of $4\, {A}$ is passed through it. Now, when the current is doubled, the amount of thermal energy dissipated in $5 \,{s}$ in $.....\,J.$
Six similar bulbs are connected as shown in the figure with a $DC$ source of $emf\; E$, and zero internal resistance. The ratio of power consumption by the bulbs when $(i)$ all are glowing and $(ii)$ in the situation when two from section $A$ and one from section $B$ are glowing, will be
The $n$ rows each containing $m$ cells in series are joined in parallel. Maximum current is taken from this combination across an external resistance of $3 \,\Omega$ resistance. If the total number of cells used are $24$ and internal resistance of each cell is $0.5 \,\Omega$ then
Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material, having radii in the ratio $1: 2$ carry currents in the ratio $4: 1$. The ratio of drift speed of electrons in $A$ and $B$ is .......
The equivalent resistance of a group of resistances is $R$. If another resistance is connected in parallel to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_1$ and if it is connected in series to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_2$ we have :
$12$ cells each having the same emf are connected in series and are kept in a closed box. Some of the cells are wrongly connected. This battery is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells identical with each other and also identical with the previous cells. The current is $3\, A$ when the external cells aid this battery and is $2\,A$ when the cells oppose the battery. How many cells in the battery are wrongly connected :-
