Current through the circuit $i=\frac{1000 E}{1000 r}=\frac{E}{r}$
Potential drop across one cell $=E-i r=E-\left(\frac{E}{r}\right) r=0$
$\Rightarrow$ For $399$ cells, total potential drop is zero

Two resistances ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ are made of different materials. The temperature coefficient of the material of ${R_1}$ is $\alpha $ and of the material of ${R_2}$ is $ - \beta $. The resistance of the series combination of ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ will not change with temperature, if ${R_1}/{R_2}$ equals
Two conductors of same length are connected in parallel as shown in figure. Their cross-sectional areas $A_1$ and $A_2$ and their resistivities are ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ respectively. The equivalent resistivity of this combination is
An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. sotuce, the water in the kettle boils in $10$ minutes. When the other coil is used the w’ater boils in $40$ minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be ...... $min$
A battery of $emf$ $10\,V$ is connected to resistances as shown in the figure. The potential difference between $A$ and $B,\,\,(V_A -V_B)$ is ................ $V$
