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 $\frac{\mathrm{dP}}{\mathrm{dR}}=0$

A $25\, watt$, $220\, volt$ bulb and a $100\, watt$, $220\, volt$ bulb are connected in series across a $220\, volt$ lines. Which electric bulb will glow more brightly
Every atom makes one free electron in copper. If $1.1$ $ampere$ current is flowing in the wire of copper having $1\, mm$ diameter, then the drift velocity (approx.) will be (Density of copper $ = 9 \times {10^3}\,kg\,{m^{ - 3}}$ and atomic weight = $63$)
One end of a Nichrome wire of length $2\,L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is attatched to an end of another Nichrome wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $2\,A$. If the free end of the longer wire is at an electric potential of $8.0$ $\mathrm{volts}$, and the free end of the shorter wire is at an electric potential of $1.0$ $\mathrm{volt}$, the potential at the junction of the two wires is equal to ............. $V$
The $H$ amount of thermal energy is developed by a resistor in $10\,s$ when a current of $4\,A$ is passed through it. If the current is increased to $16\,A$, the thermal energy developed by the resistor in $10\,s$ will be $........\,H$
A current source drives a current in a coil of resistance $R_1$ for a time $t$. The same source drives current in another coil of resistance $R_2$ for same time. If heat generated is same, find internal resistance of source.
