    In the circuit shown, $n$-identical resistors $R$ are connected in parallel $(n > 1)$ and the combination is connected in series to another resistor $R_0$. In the adjoining circuit $n$ resistors of resistance $R$ are all connected in series alongwith $R_0$. The batteries in both circuits are identical and net power dissipated in the $n$ resistors in both circuits is same. The ratio $R_0 / R$ is
