We are able to obtain fairly large currents in a conductor because
A
The electron drift speed is usually very large
B
The number density of free electrons is very high and this can compensate for the low values of the electron drift speed and the very small magnitude of the electron charge
C
The number density of free electrons as well as the electron drift speeds are very large and these compensate for the very small magnitude of the electron charge
D
The very small magnitude of the electron charge has to be divided by the still smaller product of the number density and drift speed to get the electric current

The terminal voltage of the battery, whose emf is $10 \mathrm{~V}$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$, when connected through an external resistance of $4 \Omega$ as shown in the figure is:
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
Figure shows three resistor configurations $R_1,R_2$ and $R_3$ connected to $3\,V$ battery. If the power dissipated by the configuration $R_1, R_2$ and $R_3$ is $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ , respectively then
A circuit containing five resistors is connected to a battery with a $12 \,V$ emf as shown in figure. The potential difference across $4 \,\Omega$ resistor is ........... $V$
