A cell of internal resistance $r$ drives current through an external resistance $R$ . The power delivered by the cell to the external resistance will be maximum when:
A$R = 0.001\,r$
B$R = 1000\,r$
C$R = 2\,r$
D$R = r$

D$R = r$
d Current $i=\frac{E}{r+R}$
Power generated in $R$
$P=i^{2} R$
$P=\frac{E^{2} R}{(r+R)^{2}}$
For maximum power $\frac{\mathrm{dP}}{\mathrm{dR}}=0$

Consider a thin square sheet of side $\mathrm{L}$ and thickness $\mathrm{t}$, made of a material of resistivity $\rho$. The resistance between two opposite faces, shown by the shaded areas in the figure is
A battery of $e.m.f.$ $3\, volt$ and internal resistance $1.0\, ohm$ is connected in series with copper voltameter. The current flowing in the circuit is $1.5\, amperes$. The resistance of voltameter will be ........... $ohm$
A button battery is rated $3 \,V$ and $225 \,mAh . A$ cricket ball (mass $=0.163 \,kg$ ) having energy equal to that stored in the battety will have speed closest to ............ $\,m / s$
A wire when connected to $220\,V$ mains supply has power dissipation ${P_1}$. Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is ${P_2}$. Then ${P_2}:{P_1}$ is
The length of a potentiometer wire is $\ell $. A cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\ell /3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\ell /2$ at what distance will the same cell give a balanced point
